Many soldiers brought photos of the girl back home with them to the front lines. Some brought their girl with an #ArchivesPets! This adorable little locket was carried by Albert Calhoun, HQ Co, 102d Infantry. #ArchivesHashtagParty #dogs

Soldiers loved their #ArchivesPets during WW1. Connecticut's 102d Infantry had a whole menagerie of animals besides #SgtStubby. There was Foxy the fox and even a pig, though he didn't have a name, or stay a pet for long 🫤. #ArchivesHashtagParty

Many soldiers and sailors in #WWI spent a fair bit of time hoofing around with a goat friend. We're not kidding! They were baaa-rilliant and bleat-iful #ArchivesPets! Just ask Jack LaValle, hopefully he didn't butt heads with his Sgt! #ArchivesHashtagParty #goats

A boy and their dog is a must have photo before being shipped off to war. Those #ArchivesPets must have missed their humans fiercely during #WWI. #ArchivesHashtagParty #pets

It's time to march into another

The Inter-Allied Games were held from 22 June - 6 July 1919 at Pershing Stadium in Paris. The games brought nations together to heal the wounds of war. From rugby to boxing to camel racing, there were #ArchivesSports for everyone. #ArchivesHashtagParty

After #wwi, the #DAV opened a summer camp for disabled veterans in #Niantic. #ArchivesSports played a big part, but so did some VIP guests like heavyweight boxing champ #JackJohnson! #ArchivesHashtagParty

Connecticut students taught their French friends how to play flag football on the ground that once housed Regimental HQ, 102d Infantry (and #SgtStubby) 100 years before. #ArchiveSports #ArchivesHashtagParty #friendship #teamwork #DiggingIntoHistory #DiH #wwi

F Russell Smith had the treacherous job of driving an ambulance throughout #WWI, so when they got leave in March 1918, he and his pals Sid Alling and Jack Walker headed to Nice and made a point of playing a few rounds of golf. #ArchivesSports #ArchivesHashtagParty

Whether it was a pickup game or a game of one o'cat, baseball in all its forms was a popular pastime on the Western Front. Even on the worst of days, #ArchivesSports served as a way of forgetting the horrors of the front lines. #ArchivesHashtagParty #WWI #JamesBagnall #FredRowe

The Big Offensive didn't always include a trench! Boxing was a favorite pastime of the doughboys during #WWI. 1st LT Kenneth Shrewsbury snapped this fight somewhere in France. #ArchivesSports #ArchivesHashtagParty

On your mark, get set, go! We're off to the relay races with another #ArchivesHashtagParty. We can't wait to pass the baton off to see what other #ArchivesSports are played today! #InterAlliedGames #1919

"I guess it will be a long time before we meet again" wrote Pvt Willard Butler on this #ArchivesPostcard as he shipped off to France. Thankfully we'll see you all next month for another #ArchivesHashtagParty #WWI

Who says an #ArchivesPostcard have to be a photo or an image? We're particularly fond of these embroidered postcards made in France during #wwi. These were popular souvenirs for soldiers to send home to their sweethearts! #ArchivesHashtagParty

@CTinWW1 Not #Stubby, but we have an #ArchivesPostcard with remarkable resemblance to the little German Hund. twitter.com/NARiverside/st…

This postcard was sent by a former student, Stephen Yazza to the Superintendent of the Sherman Institute during World War I. Created by the YMCA, it “captures” all things German: pretzels, beer, sausage and the Dachshund! And we’ll see you next month!

This a favorite #ArchivesPostcard, mostly because the pups are so darn cute! This predates our favorite #wwi pooch, so we'll just give #Stubby a shout out and see if anyone else has him on a postcard. #ArchivesHashtagParty #SgtStubby #DogsofTwittter
