As visitors emerge from the trench-like entrance of the Nation Overseas Gallery, cast figures, lighting effects, imagery, and sounds of distant battle recreate a settingþÄîbased on a famous photograph of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. Viewed atop a glass and steel bridge, splintered trees and advancing American Soldiers maneuver amidst the battle wreckage. The film shown here plunges visitors into scenes of trench warfare and relays the U.S. ArmyþÄôs contributions to the war effort. Nearby a 1917 FT-17 tank, against a backdrop of recruiting posters, augments the experience. (National Museum of the United States Army Photo, Spc. Ian Miller)
