Below is a photograph that's made the rounds on the internet a number of times. The image depicts roughly 25 thousand soldiers and officers formed into the shape of the Liberty Bell. The photograph was taken at Fort Dix in New Jersey in 1918 (note at the bottom left of the image)
Below is a cover and letter from my collection from a soldier stationed at Fort Dix in 1918 and postmarked May 23rd of that year
Though impossible to know for sure but I'd like to think the soldier who penned this letter is one of the soldiers in the Liberty Bell photograph. If he is then I don't know where he might be in the photograph but I have a picture of a soldier who wrote a letter and addressed a cover in my collection 97 years ago.
