Here is a shot of US Marines. I noticed the Lithuanians had the slings on the stacking swivel.

Lets see if I can post a picture.

just wondering, do you think these soldiers built the buildings behind them?....

I don't know about WW1 but my Dad in the first couple of months of 1942 (as a civilian carpenter) helped other civilian workers build some of the Army barracks at Fort Meade, Maryland before he joined the US Marines as a Combat Engineer.

I work at a US Army supply depot and I have seen old photographs of the depot when it was an induction center in WW1 and the picture shows hundreds of tents.

My own opinion is that in time of war the priority for recruits would be training and getting them in-theater ASAP rather than spending time building barracks.

Wow, just wow.
Glad to see the survivors found some sense of normalcy after their ordeal.
Thanks for posting these pictures.
