Description

A group of Gold Star mothers visiting the graves of their sons and other monuments in France, part of a larger party escorted by Army Officers, including A. Robert Ginsburgh (not shown). This photo was taken at Lafayette Escadrille Monument in Garches, near Paris, France, where 18 soldiers and 21 of their former comrades of the Escadrille are buried beneath the monument. The women are unidentified, but the officers on the top row are, left to right, Lieut. Heitman, Major Bolibaugh, and Lieut. White.
