Description

Two WWI 16th Engineers (RR) Company F Yardlong Photos. The bottom one was taken in 1917 before they left for France, and the top one in 1919 when they came back. Only the 1919 one is labeled, but the same faces appear in both.
Both of them have tears and creases, more so on the 1919 one. Please see the pictures, I tried to show all the tears. There are also numbers written in ink on both of them. There is nothing on the back of either of them. They are about 42 inches long. They will ship rolled.
From the WWI Centennial website:
"16th Engineers Regiment (Railway)
Michigan's Only All Volunteer Regiment
The 16th Regiment of Engineers (Railway) was Organized, Mobilized and Trained with in the City Limits of Detroit, Michigan.
The 16th Engineers built Camp Williams in France, worked on the largest construction project of the A. E. F., the Never's Cutoff, served with the British during the German spring offensive of 1918 and built the Marcy Engine Terminal to name but a few of their projects."
The 16th Engineers were in France from July 1917 to April 1919. They are credited with battle participation at Lys and the Meuse-Argonne.
