Ancestry.com is a subscription genealogical service that sometimes offers free material to the general public. They now have available well over 1,000 individual portraits and wide-format group and panoramic images of Americans who served it the Great War.

Below are some that caught my eye as I scrolled through the two sets. Click on the images to get much larger versions of the photos (except the two portraits).
