Scope and Contents
The John F. Blauer World War I Photo Collection consists of 115 black and white photographs mostly depicting scenes from France (St. Juvin, Grandpré, and the Argonne area) and Germany (Prüm and Trier area) during World War I and the soldiers and nurses of Evacuation Hospital Unit Number Seven. There are additional prewar photographs from Lund, Idaho; Lava Hot Springs, Idaho; and Fort Riley, Kansas as well as postwar photographs taken in Junction City, Kansas and near Niagara Falls. Some of the photographs are thought to have belonged to a German prisoner-of-war and were most likely removed from the enclosed album with the German word for war memories (Kriegserinnerungen) on the front cover. The collection also contains 11 postcards with scenes of France, an invitation to a 1933 reunion of the Evacuation Hospital Unit Number Seven, and a leather-bound book titled The Log Book of Evacuation Hospital Number Seven A.E.F. November 25, 1917: May 1, 1919.
