About this photograph

The archive record dates this portrait to 1914, though the United States did not enter the First World War until April 1917. The date range 1914/1918 may reflect uncertainty about when exactly Wendall Long enlisted or sat for this photograph.

Local studios photographed servicemen in uniform before they left for training or deployment. For many young men these portraits were the only formal photograph ever made, and families kept copies at home during the war.

Tulare County lies in California's San Joaquin Valley. The county library maintains a collection focused on local residents rather than public figures.

The photographer is not identified.
