Photo album and loose photographs created by an anonymous soldier of the 127th Infantry during his time in training at army camps as well as some group portraits in Europe after deploying. There are photographs from Camp Douglas in Wisconsin, Camp MacArthur in Waco, Texas. The album's creator appears to have been a member of a military band, as he is pictured several times holding his clarinet both alone and as a part of larger band photographs. Of note are a small number of photographs in the album showing a large number of soldiers lifting and moving a wooden YMCA building by hand.
