The record for this glass negative gives only an unverified title, French soldiers guarding a château, and no date. The Bain News Service, a New York agency that sold news photographs to newspapers and magazines, handled many images from the First World War, when French troops were often posted at country houses behind the front. The agency's negatives now sit in the Library of Congress, and details such as the uniforms, the building and its grounds are the best clues to when and where this was taken.
