Court-martialed soldier awaiting trial. Before the trial, he is labeled as a "straggler from the front line," and if convicted, he will be marked as a deserter. This practice has helped reduce desertion rates in the 82nd Division. Location: Florent, Meuse, France. Declassified photograph from November 5, 1918.
