Returning GIs Form Living Pictures
Englishman Arthur S. Mole and his American colleague John D. Thomas took these incredible pictures of thousands of soldiers, as they returned from World War I, forming icons of American history. Arthur’s great nephew Joseph Mole, 70, says: “In the picture of the Statue of Liberty there are 18,000 men: 12,000 of them in the torch alone, but just 17 at the base. The men at the top of the picture are actually half a mile away from the men at the bottom.” Quite an undertaking.
