Item description from seller

Octavo. Measuring 11" x 7". String-tied papercovered boards. Contains over 265 gelatin silver photographs from 2" x 3" to 7" x 10", with some pages captioned, and many band members identified by last names. Album very lightly rubbed else fine; interior photos fine. An album documenting life in the 13th Infantry Regiment Band while stationed at Camp Merritt soon after the Armistice of World War I. The album includes a group 37 band members with their instruments posing in front of two barracks and a second group photograph captioned "13th Infantry, Camp Merritt N.J. May 1919," showing about 160 men seated and standing on bleachers. There are about 110 posed photographs of individual solders including a charming group of about 65 images of each man with his instrument. Other photographs show the men relaxing in camp, clowning with a giant megaphone, and being addressed by Secretary of War Newton D. Baker. There are also a number of images taken off base largely around Cresskill, as well as a handful of images of warships in the Hudson River, a monument around Boston, and the Polo Grounds in New York. The 13th Infantry Regiment was assigned to the 8th Division, one of the last Regular Army divisions to activate during WWI. Several of the division's units had arrived in France prior to the Armistice, which was signed while the 13th was still at sea. It never landed in France, but instead was recalled to the States and garrisoned at Fort Merritt, New Jersey. A charming collection of images of WWI-era military band with special attention to individual portraits.…
