Human Statue of Liberty

might be old news to some, but it's new to me.

INCREDIBLE ! The picture was taken in 1918. It is 18,000 men preparing for war in a training camp at Camp Dodge in Iowa. Imagine how long these men had to stand in that one spot to set it up correctly.

Many

Many Pictures like that were taken in the 20s-40s.

A number of posts had the regular old regimental picture taken but a number had some kind of design made out of the troops.

Always fun to look at. Thanks for posting it.
