Great Lakes Naval Training photographs
Scope and Contents
The collection consists of three 8x10 (broken at the folds), black and white photographs of Duluth men who served in the Great Lakes Naval Training program in WWI. Photographs like these were used in the publication Great Lakes Recruit, of which pages 39, 40 of the October 1918 issue is also in this collection (torn in half at the fold). The Great Lakes Recruit magazine was published monthly between 1915 and 1919.
In photographs labeled 2 and 3 by the donor, identification of one man is supplied: "The warrant officer is Art MacGregor, the brother of Louis who owned MacGregor-Soderstrom a Duluth men's clothing business." There is one 1940s photographic postcard of an unidentified Duluth young woman in a wool coat in front of the windows of the Granda News store of Duluth. There are magazines visible through the glass, as well as popcorn and Coca-Cola signs.
