    A black-and-white archival photograph catalogued as OWI-22969-C shows two soldiers in military uniforms engaged in what appears to be bayonet or rifle combat training. One soldier lunges forward with a rifle while the other deflects or parries the weapon. The setting is an outdoor wooded area with sparse sandy ground, consistent with a military training camp.
    A black-and-white archival military photograph taken from a low angle showing a uniformed officer standing at the center, appearing to address or inspect a group of soldiers. The soldiers in the foreground are holding rifles and wearing field uniforms, while the central figure wears a dress uniform with visible insignia. The composition suggests a formal military drill, inspection, or address on an open parade ground.
