The work was entitled "Grave Of French Soldier". Memorial Day had been that prior Thursday.
Here again J. C. Leydecker, the artists, oddly depicted the US uniform in a color that was much closer to the German uniform's colors. He'd been born in Germany, as earlier noted, and had come over as a small child. Still, I wonder if that somehow impacted his idea of what color U.S. Army uniforms were. Having said that, this depiction also includes the French flag with blue shown as a color of grey, which makes me wonder about his color perception. Uniform details were otherwise quite correct, except that that one, the pattern of legging depicted, was changing at that very moment.
Anyhow, this cover of the Post was in tribute to the French soldiers who had already given their lives in the Great War.
