Captain Hughes photographed this German man and woman delivering wood off their cart pulled by cattle. Notice the man in the corner above the cattle, he appears to be doing something as he stands near the U.S. Military equipment parked on the hill. The photo was taken June 17, 1919, while the 18th Field Artillery with the Army of Occupation was near Kolberg, Germany. James C. Hughes, as part of the 35th Division, left Fort Sill, Oklahoma, and traveled to Hoboken, New Jersey, where he boarded the troop ship "Ceramic" on May 18, 1918. Hughes arrived in Liverpool, England, on June 1, 1918 and then landed at Le Havre, France, on June 9, 1918. Hughes fought in the battles of St. Michael and the Meuse-Argonne. He was at Verdun on Armistice Day, November 11, 1918. He took no photos of the actual fighting. He did take many photographs after the war as part of the Army of Occupation until he left France on July 18, 1919. A full biography of James Clark Hughes is available on Kansapedia.
