Roy WWI photos

The following is an additional collection of photos concerning Roy Huber in WWI.  Many thanks to Clayton Huber for keeping them all together and in such great shape- it's crazy to think these original panoramic photos are nearly 100 years old.
Roy Huber left, unknown in middle, Vern Probst on right

Likely at Camp Kearny

Bottom reads: "Co. F. 16th Amunition Train Camp Kearny Calif. Captain Earl Logan Commanding"
This is a rather big file so I compressed it a bit and highlighted where Roy was in the lineup.
If you'd like a better copy than this, just let me know.  :)

Camp Kearny panorama.  Bottom right reads, "Liberty Studio. Camp Kearny.  No. 325"
I LOVE this photo.  If you look closely at it, Roy wrote in the background where various buildings were: present home,  college, recruit camp, etc.  So fascinating... although I have yet to locate him in this massive group.
He also wrote this on the back before he sent it home:
Transcribed:
"Very poor photographer so judge accordingly.  We really look better and rec'd you letter today. Roy (1-18-19)"
SO cute.
Click on those panorama photos to get a better look at them.  They can be enlarged for viewing with a little work.
To see more WWI photos of Roy, check THIS post, or browse through the "Military" label.
