Description
Scanned photo by A.F. Orr of Company K of the 2nd Maine Infantry. During August 1917, Orr was at Fort Keyes (August, ME) to photograph various Maine regiments as they were mobilizing. Therefore, it seems likely that this particular photo was taken there. A recent photo by Orr of Company K is explicitly mentioned in the Old Town Enterprise of August 25th. The 2nd Maine Infantry was sent overseas in September 1917.
