This nurse’s uniform was worn by Julia D.S. Snow (1891-1984), a Greenfield, Massachusetts, resident. The United States involvement in World War I began when Snow was twenty-six years old. When the men of Greenfield were mustered at a nearby camp, she  photographed them. When they marched to the train station several weeks later, she was there to photograph their passage on the street in front of the house she shared with her father and mother. Soon after, Snow, too, joined the war effort as one of the more than 18,000 women from the United States who served as nurses in the American Red Cross’s nursing corps.
