Lt. Edward O. Haars captured a photograph on December 21, 1918, depicting the coach on Marshal Foch's train where the Armistice was signed. This historical event took place in Compiegne, around 10 miles away from where the armistice terms were negotiated. The photo, labeled as number 31465, was authorized by the censor, although the exact date of issuance is unknown.
