About 250 original newspaper reports from World War I were studied via The New York Times Web site which contains a vast online archive. The first-hand accounts by frontline reporters such as Sir Philip Gibbs and others were especially useful in creating interesting photo captions.

Picture Credits

All of the photos were acquired by The History Place from the US National Archives and Library of Congress. Many of the photos underwent some degree of digital restoration by The History Place to remove scratches and blemishes etc. that occurred over time, in order to bring them back to their original appearance as much as possible.
