But his work was far from traditional.Accompanied by his partner, John Thomas, Mole visited military bases around the country during World War I. There, he placed his 11x14-inch view camera atop an 80-foot tower and ordered thousands of officers, soldiers, reservists and nurses into colossal compositions.Each photograph took at least a week of planning to visualize and map out. Mole would trace the outline of each composition on the ground glass of his camera, then use a megaphone and hand signals to direct assistants on the ground.It took several more hours of wrangling thousands of participants into place before the shutter could be clicked.In the chaotic days of World War I, the monumental images were meant to display a sense of resolute national unity.<a href="http://imgup.net" target="_blank"><img src="http://r22.imgup.net/1bf41.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>191718,000 officers and men form the Statue of Liberty at Camp Dodge in Iowa.<a href="http://imgup.net" target="_blank"><img src="http://j15.imgup.net/2dbdb.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>191825,000 officers and men form the Liberty Bell at Fort Dix, New Jersey.<a href="http://imgup.net" target="_blank"><img src="http://i76.imgup.net/360cc.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>191821,000 officers and men form a portrait of Woodrow Wilson at Camp Sherman, Ohio.<a href="http://imgup.net" target="_blank"><img src="http://n63.imgup.net/45af6.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>191830,000 men and officers form an American shield at Camp Custer in Michigan.<a href="http://imgup.net" target="_blank"><img src="http://x20.imgup.net/5a5ae.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>1917U.S. Naval Rifle Range, Camp Logan, Illinois.<a href="http://imgup.net" target="_blank"><img src="http://h68.imgup.net/640fa.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>1917Bluejackets form Allied flags at the U.S. Naval Training Station in Pelham Bay, New York.<a href="http://imgup.net" target="_blank"><img src="http://j65.imgup.net/7121d.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>1918Soldiers of the 164th Depot Brigade form a service flag at Fort Riley in Kansas.<a href="http://imgup.net" target="_blank"><img src="http://x00.imgup.net/8d320.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>1917Men and officers form the YMCA logo at Camp Wheeler in Georgia.<a href="http://imgup.net" target="_blank"><img src="http://h71.imgup.net/91c23.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>191812,500 officers, nurses and men form an American eagle at Camp Gordon in Georgia.<a href="http://imgup.net" target="_blank"><img src="http://d12.imgup.net/102e61.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>191822,500 officers and men form a machine gun insignia at Camp Hancock in Georgia.<a href="http://imgup.net" target="_blank"><img src="http://d82.imgup.net/111278.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>1917Officers and men form a Japanese flag at the United States Naval Training Station in Illinois.<a href="http://imgup.net" target="_blank"><img src="http://v66.imgup.net/124a61.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>1917Men and officers form a Union Jack flag at the United States Naval Training Station in Illinois.<a href="http://imgup.net" target="_blank"><img src="http://m08.imgup.net/132778.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>1917Men and officers form an American flag at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station in Illinois.</blockquote>
