Miles Fry and John Worthington - 1918-1919 - Pages 178-181

I'm very lucky to have several of my grandmother Evelyn Clara Call's (1895-1962) photo albums. And perhaps even luckier that she labeled many of the photos - so I know roughly when and where they were taken, and who was in the photos.  My grandmother attended Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois in 1915-1916, and then Cornell University in Ithaca, New York from 1916-1919. Pages 178-181 in the album are unique. I do not believe any of the photographs on these pages were taken by my grandmother. The photos all seem to relate to the 1918-1919 World War I military service of her friend Miles William Fry. .
