The pochoir prints in this album represent the activities of American soldiers during World War I. American cowboys respond to the call to arms, leaving behind the “home on the range” for training at West Point. Other illustrations depict General Pershing leading American troops to battle and the chain of command in the trenches. More light-hearted scenes show American soldiers enjoying the French countryside or interacting with other foreign troops on Paris streets.
