  Art Siegel: thank you for the information on these related images. We'll update our records.

• jdshephe46 said:

  The title "52nd Brigade, 25th Division" is incorrect. The 52nd Brigade was an element of the 26th Division (Order of Battle of the United States Land Forces in the World War, American Expeditionary Forces: Divisions. Volume 2, Center of Military History, United States Army, Washington, DC, 1988, page 114). Close examination of the photo indicates that the original caption writer misread the information on the bag in the foreground.

• Jon (LOC P&P) said:

  Thanks for catching that error jdshephe46. We'll change the description in the catalog record to say 26th Division.

  This is the first of a series of three photos of activities at a warehouse of the Army Quartermaster's Effects Bureau. The Bureau was in Hoboken, N.J., but also rented warehouse space in New York. [Writing on the crates is "Effects Bureau, 520 [529?] Greenwich St., New York"].[ " The work is increasing to such an extent and the packages are coming so rapidly that Colonel Danforth leased another large warehouse on Greenwich Street New York."] The Effects Bureau managed the personal effects of war dead, returned from the battlefield. Col. Chas. H. Danforth was Chief of the Bureau. American Legion Weekly, July 25, 1919 books.google.com/books?id=IrhCAQAAMAAJ&dq=Effects+Bur... In this photo a worker with a large pot of ink and a brush is apparently writing a shipping address on a crate of effects.
