Excerpt from Soldiers All: Portraits and Sketches of the Men of the A E. F
The portraits of American soldiers, - ranging from general to private, - pointed by Joseph Cumminge Chase, constitute a valuable and unique addition to tho Official pictorial record of the war. Mr. Chase was authorized by the War Department to go overseas with the purpose of carrying out this commission, and the unusual facilities placed at his disposal by the A. E. F. enabled him to obtain likenesses of our more distinguished soldiers, and to furnish copies for the permanent files of the General Staff. More than any American artist has he succeeded in preserving the likenesses of the foremost officers and sen of the A. E. F., - a task that was made possible by the personal interest of General Pershing.
