Sepia-toned image of a young man in a United States Navy uniform from World War I. The banner on his sailor cap states he served on the armored cruiser USS San Diego. Pulled from the Pacific fleet and assigned to escort merchant ships through the North Atlantic with the entry of the U. S. into World War I, the San Diego was struck by a German mine off the coast of New York States on July 19, 1918, sinking less than thirty minutes later, the only major U. S. warship to be lost in the first World War. Though born in Tillamook, Hawke's father, C. E. Hawke, was a physician with a general practice in Forest Grove.
Black and white image of a group of soldiers in World War I uniforms running a recruiting station in front of the Liberty Theater. At a table with a sign stating 'Your Country Needs You!' one soldier supervises a man in a hat and suit coat filling out paperwork. The other six soldiers stand at attention in front of the various signs advertising the currently playing movie, which appears to be the 1916 film 'Fighting Blood,' starring William Farnum, produced by Fox Hollywood Studios. A sign in the background advertises a 'Special Program Tonight... 15.' The image labeled back c is actually WCMpic_011822, a duplicate of WCMpic_001729 that provides more information about the image.
