Additional Information
Captured between 1917 and 1919 by the Bain News Service, this memorable image shows a soldier at Camp Kearny, California, wearing a gas mask while peeling onions. Captioned as an "anti-onion" gas mask, the photograph reveals a wry moment of ingenuity amid the routines of wartime military life.
Camp Kearny was established near San Diego in 1917 to prepare American troops for overseas deployment during the First World War. Thousands of soldiers passed through its grounds, undergoing drills and the routine duties of camp life, including the considerable task of preparing meals for an entire division.
The photograph was published in the Philadelphia Evening Public Ledger on May 24, 1919, bringing a welcome touch of humor to readers weary from years of war. Such lighthearted images offered the public a glimpse of the humor and camaraderie that sustained soldiers through the demands of training camp life.
This delightful photograph stands as a testament to the resourcefulness and wit of American soldiers during the war, offering a window into the everyday reality of training camp life behind the battle lines. It appeals to collectors of World War I military photography, home front heritage, and early twentieth-century photojournalism.
