Original era photography. Interesting image of soldiers participating in firing practice at Camp Lincoln Illinois in 1897. Two of the soldiers are inan unusual prone position, lying on their backs, from which they will fire their weapons. There is a specific name for this position but it escapes me at present, but believe it had to do with an English rifle competition held during the same era. Very cool photo.
