DescriptionFormal studio portraits of men in uniform accompanied by women, presumably their wives. In two photographs the men are seated with the women standing beside them. In one photograph the woman is seated and the man stands beside her. Two men have mustaches and one has a mustache and beard. One woman appears to be pregnant.
NotesSubject Note: The soldiers and women are unidentified, but the photographs were taken in New Britain and New Haven, so they presumably lived in that area. (Finlay 3/13/2014)Status
