Description: This is an original WWI photo from pilot Sgt Alexander Wilson, 157th Aero Squadron, 1918. Served primarily out of Chatillon-sur-Seine, France.

The back side of most photos from his scrapbook have remnants from being glued in. See photos for condition. Type & Size: A 3.5x2.5 original photograph. Condition: The photos from this lot are very old and condition varies. Please see photos. The back side of most photos in this lot have remnants from being glued in a scrapbook. A black and white photograph depicting a team of horses pulling a plow in a farm field, with a man identified as a farmer operating the plow. The setting appears rural, with a few distant houses visible in the background. The caption below the image reads "A FRENCH TEAM," suggesting this scene is from France. During World War I, many soldiers and airmen took photographs capturing life in and around their camps. This image likely represents the agricultural work that was essential during the war, providing food for both soldiers and civilians. The integration of old-world farming practices within a war context adds depth to the narrative of the era, reflecting on the reliance on traditional farming methods alongside emerging technologies.
