A Giant Man-Made U.S. Shield Made Out of 30,000 People at Camp Custer in 1918
This photo is interesting for many reasons. First, because 30,000 officers and men at Camp Custer in Michigan were asked to help make it a reality. Second, because it was photographed for the purpose of boosting American patriotism. Third, that patriotism was photographed by a British photographer, Arthur Mole. Mole had a 70ft tower constructed at the site so he could get this angle.
