(click picture to see detail)The e-mail I received says the picture was taken in 1918.
So allowing for the thin-ness of the column, and the (other reasonably useful calculations) depth of the photo, 1/3 would be what? The torch, the arm, and the head?
1/3 = 6,000.
6,000 men. That's right about the number of American casualties since the beginning of this war.
6,000 men. A headless Liberty, indeed.

That's one amazing picture!
It's actually 4,013, with over 30,000 wounded.
