Collection Overview
| Size | 50 items |
| Abstract | Albums and scrapbooks collected by Bowman Gray, Jr., of Winston-Salem, N.C., provide documentation of the First World War (1914-1918) through images created by photographers likely working for the French government or French Armée, through press coverage in clippings from the New York Times, and through printed items and ephemera reflecting the war effort on the American home front. Photograph albums contain more than 3000 captioned images taken in Europe and North Africa. Many images depict the destruction wrought by modern warfare and artillery on the villages and communes across France. The primary subject is the French Armée soldiers and officers on the front line in camps, cantonments, shelters, tunnels, and trenches before and after battles. Camp life is particularly well documented. Also pictured are colonial troops and cavalry including Spahis, Zouaves, Algerians, Moroccans, and Senegalese; troops from the countries comprising the Allies; German, Bulgarian, and Turk prisoners of war; nurses and doctors; refugees; civilians in towns, cities, schools, factories, and internment camps; wounded soldiers in the field and in hospitals; and veterans who were disabled and described as "crippled" or "blinded" in the war. Loose images in the collection are photomechanical reproductions depicting French Armée officers and soldiers and colonial troops and cavalry. |

Photograph albums contain more than 3000 captioned images from the First World War (1914-1918) in Europe, chiefly France, Belgium, and Greece, and in North Africa. Photographers working for the French government or army likely created these images. The person who assembled the albums and captioned the photographs is not identified. Captions are in English and employ expressions such as "Musselmen" for Muslims still in use during the first third of the twentieth century.
Many images depict the destruction wrought by modern warfare and artillery on the villages and communes across France. Other subjects include weapons and ordnance; military transport vehicles and ambulances; supply and sanitation trains; battleships, cruisers, gun boats, man-of wars, and submarines; fighter planes; sausage balloons; dry docks and wharves; and graves, cemeteries, funerals, and burials. The primary subject is the French Armée soldiers and officers on the front line in camps, cantonments, shelters, tunnels, and trenches before and after battles. Camp life is particularly well documented in images showing camp kitchens and barracks and soldiers working, constructing shelters and other structures, standing guard, wearing gas masks, cooking and eating, resting, washing, bathing, gardening, exercising, fishing, watching stage performances in camp theaters, celebrating Bastille Day (Fête nationale), and dancing. Numerous images show the armies' use of animals, especially dogs, mules, and horses.

Others represented in the images include engineers, aviators, sailors, gunners, cyclists, and musicians. Several images show street scenes in European and North African cities, a few with individuals derisively labeled in the captions as "A typical Jew" and "A typical Moor."
Only a few individuals including France's president Raymond Poincaré , British nobleman and the secretary of state for war Lord Horatio Kitchener, and French stage actress Sarah Bernhardt are identified in the captions. Poincaré appears in several images in which he is decorating French soldiers.
