An original 8.5×6.5″ vintage photo from a large collection of American Expeditionary Force (AEF) Signal Corps photos we acquired from the estate of a collector. It has an exceptionally helpful caption written in pen by the image. The photographer appears to have been in the 30th Div (“Old Hickory”), and most of the photos taken around the time the Hindenburg Line was taken. Professionally packaged in a rigid mailer for safe delivery. Photo Overview General G.F. Glenn of the 83rd Division U.S.A. is depicted awarding 1st Lt. Wm. J. Warfield from the 33rd Division near Le Mans, Sarthe in France. The photograph captures a formal moment between the two men as soldiers stand in formation in the background, indicating a military ceremony. The image is part of the Signal Corps U.S.A. collection and is officially marked as such. General George Filmore Glenn played a significant role during World War I, leading his division with distinction. The location, near Le Mans in Sarthe, was a significant area for American Expeditionary Forces during the war, providing a strategic link for operations. This photograph highlights the importance of military recognition and the formal acknowledgment of service during a crucial period in history. Text Present Gen. G.F. Glenn, 83rd Div.
