The record identifies this view only by its title, which places American foresters at work in France. During the First World War, the U.S. Army raised forestry units to cut timber for the American Expeditionary Forces, supplying lumber for trench works, railway ties, and camp buildings. The glass negative comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, whose news photographs were often captioned from unverified notes, so the title should be read as provisional.
