American soldiers stationed in the small village of Ville au Montois during World War I. The photograph, taken on May 12, 1919, captures the soldiers in a moment of relaxation and camaraderie. Ville au Montois served as a base for the G-2 military unit. The symbol "EU NOTF" is likely a reference to the unit or mission.
