    Can't seem to find anything about her. She must be a nurse.

    Lovely family shot NLI and a great story. They are a handsome bunch and the tennis rackets are so much more in keeping than a shotgun!

    It's amazing how quickly many search engines "selling something" pick up a public domain image like this one and offer it for sale as a "print". Amazon and the several others are instantly listing this on Google. Important person during WWI ?? -- Seen in my contacts' photos. (?)

    Melinda Young Stuart Actually, they've been doing this since at least when these pictures went online at LOC's site, years before they were put up here. Too bad the buyers don't know LOC has very hi-res images of these for free.
  • Melinda Young Stuart said:
    Art Siegel Thanks for the info. I"m not surprised, actually. I know it goes on, generally, for anything on the web that can be sold for wall decoration. Right, too bad they don't know they can go to the source, get a better image, and support their national library--all at once.
