Potato Peelers

"The Potato Circle" (1890's)

French soldiers socializing as they peel potatoes.
New recruits were often photographed in group activities
such as preparing food. Each soldier had the opportunity
to buy copies of the photo to send to friends and family.

American soldiers are usually shown peeling potatoes alone,
often as some sort of punishment. This card is WW2 era.
