Description

7 7/8"h x 4 7/8"w portrait orientation sepia tone professional photo of William Jackson Spalding, a returning soldier of the 79th Infantry Division from World War I. The young man had on a service cap with a US insignia button and a high collared coat with metal insignia buttons on each side of the collar with crossed rifles and some illegible letters on the button. He had a single service bar above his pocket, the Cross of Lorraine patch on his shoulder and a private's patch on his sleeve. He had short hair and dark eyes. The photographer illegibly signed the bottom of the paper and added "1919." There was a lightweight white paper cover for the photo that had an oval opening for the face. There was an American flag in color in the upper left corner and a line of blue outlined soldiers marching below the oval and text in blue: "Our Hearts Are with You Over There." In the lower left corner was a copyright statement: "c A. M. Kelly." ************************************ Text on verso: none
