Clair Kenamore was a reporter with a camera on the Western Front; Marguerite Martyn covered the home front with an interviewer's pen and artist's sketchbook. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e He reported what he saw: Doughboy Sammy Goldberg coming back from the trenches with seventeen German prisoners. Blond French girls throwing flowers and flirting in German with boisterous American troops. Men dying.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e She asked questions, and in her drawings, her imagination soared. Fashionable women wearing fanciful war-themed hats. Befuddled diners wondering how to get around wartime food regulations. Fearful women asking: Marry before he goes overseas, or wait 'til he's home? Strong women taking on men's jobs: running a lathe, operating an elevator, building airplanes, driving trucks. Young boys knitting sweaters. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e You learn what historians can't tell you. How did civilians become soldiers? Who took their places on the job and in the fields?

A busybody woman peers through a periscope. Camp followers get booted.
