The Russian campaign of the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) shows both American and Russian troops, soldier life in Vladivostok as well as ethnic Russians and the sight of that city. Effects of the revolution are pictured: dead bodies, units, equipment, leaders, etc. There are several photos of Fort Sill, Oklahoma, in the 1920s and the building of Fort Benning, Georgia and President Harding's visit to that post. The Recruiting Publicity Bureau photos are of the staff variety and "grin and shake" venue. There are photos of several posters used by the Bureau. In one of the photos Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt is featured.
