World War I was a whole new ballgame when it came to warfare. Uniforms were no different. It was not until the 20th century where armies, including the United States strove to make soldier's uniforms more comfortable and efficient for the trenches.
The identifiers of what division the soldier was in was identified on pins placed at the neck of the uniform, which were easily removed for washing. The piping on the uniform determined what branch of service the soldier was in.
This particular uniform was worn by Kossuth County native Jake Godden.
