The Spoils Of War – World War 1
After the end of the first world war, American troops came back home and showed what they brought back with them. It is almost impossible to imagine a similar situation happening today, but it sure did happen back in those days. In this photograph, you could see a giant pyramid made out of captured German helmets from the duration of the first world war.
This pyramid was built at the Grand Central Terminal in New York City, 1918. People came from all over the nation to see the triumphant troops coming back after the horror they’ve gone through in Europe. The sacrifices they made keep us safe to this day, and it is important to remember what they fought for all those years ago.
