Basic training

A picture of my grandfather (under arrow) and his company from Sherman County, Nebraska as they prepare for basic training. This photo was probably taken in 1917. His basic training took place at Camp Funston, Kansas and then on Long Island before he was shipped off to France. I have about 20-30 letters that he wrote to his sister from camp and when he first arrived in France.
