Image from the Henthorpe collection. Arthur Henthorpe was an American railroad engineer, who went to France during WWI to
help out with the war effort. About the photos, he wrote in 1977, “…they were taken by French aviators who were billeted
near Souilly, Meuse, where I switched cars nights [during] the fall and winter of 1917. These aviators were wonderful guys
and seemed to take a liking to us and went out of their way to be friendly." They gave Arthur these photos.
