One large original and striking panoramic photograph capturing the 88th Infantry Division, or, the "Cloverleaf Division" upon their return to the United States following World War I, on board seized troopship, the USS Koningin Der Nederlanden (ID 2708). The 88th Infantry Division commanded by Major General Edward H. Plummer, was formed at Camp Dodge in Sept., 1917 in Iowa, and fought in the trenches during the Alsace Campaign aiding the French Army regain Alsace and Lorraine, both of which had been lost 43 years earlier in the Franco-Prussian War, suffering 590 casualties during the War. The photo documents them arriving June 4, 1919, and by June 10, 1919 they were demobilized at Camp Dodge, IA, and would remain inactive until called up during World War II in 1942. The USS Koningin Der Nederlanden had been built and launched as a Dutch Passenger steamship for the Netherland Line in 1911 running between Amsterdam and Indonesia, but was seized by the United States under orders by President Wilson in San Francisco, CA in 1918. She traversed the Panama Canal and embarked more than 2,200 troops of the AEF to France, and on her 3rd trip she reached Brest two days before the Armistice. She would later repatriate more than 10,000 troops, and after delivering the 88th was decommissioned and returned to the Dutch Shipping line. Clements commercial photographic firm was operated by brothers Rells (1883-1963), and Albert (1899-1968) who operated their studio on F Street in Washington, D.C., and specialized in panoramic photos. During the 1920's they became especially well known for their U.S. Naval airship photographs at Lakehurst.
