Now all roads lead to France and heavy is the tread
Of the living; but the dead returning lightly dance.

Was America World War One's Marchingest Country?

 

Of Course, the New Troops Did a Lot of Marching



Even Their Commander-in-Chief Joined In



The Marching Began Even Before the USA Entered the War
Preparedness Day in San Francisco, 22 July 1916



This Liberty Loan Parade in Philadelphia During the Spanish Influenza Led to an Explosion in Cases



Working Men in Washington, DC



Patriotic Children on Canal Street in New Orleans



Seattle



Suffragettes



The Women's Land Army



After the Armistice:  St. Louis Welcomes Home
the 138th Infantry
