Condition: The photos from this lot are very old and condition varies. Please see photos. The back side of most photos in this lot have remnants from being glued in a scrapbook. This original photograph features a panoramic view of Ch�tillon-sur-Seine, taken in 1918. The image captures the town's landscape with various buildings and rooftops, set against a backdrop of trees. The scene reflects the architectural styles typical of early 20th-century France and is connected to the experiences of Sergeant Alexander Wilson, who served in the 157th Aero Squadron during World War I. Ch�tillon-sur-Seine is historically significant as a location where military aviation operations occurred during World War I. The town's airfield was a crucial base for U.S. Army pilots, contributing to the aerial campaigns in the war. Many photographs like this may have been taken either by Wilson himself or by his comrades, making them rare glimpses into the life of soldiers and the environments in which they operated.
