WW1 US Navy 1918 US Navy sailor writing at desk in uniform Original Photo

Description: This is an extremely rare, and perhaps one-of-a-kind image World War One U.S. Navy image. This is a photo brought back from WWI by a US Navy sailor named Joseph Mondzelski of Parson, PA who appears to have served aboard destroyer tender USS Black Hawk and/or USS Lake, largely in Scotland (Kirkwall/Orkney islands). He also took photos of USS Lakeview, a transport ship that operated near Scotland too, and appears to have been familiar with that crew. Type & Size: A 5.5x3 original photograph. Condition: The back side of most photos in this lot have remnants from being glued in a scrapbook. Please see photos for condition. The photo depicts a young man seated at a small table, dressed in a US Navy uniform. He appears to be writing with a pen, surrounded by a neutral-toned backdrop. The individual has short, slicked-back hair and is focused on his task, suggesting a moment of reflection or correspondence. The photo likely dates back to 1918, during or shortly after World War I. Joseph Mondzelski, the sailor who likely carried this photo, served aboard naval vessels during the war in locations like Scotland. The US Navy played a crucial role during this period, providing support and logistics for military operations in Europe. Sailors like Joseph often documented their experiences through photographs, capturing the daily life and comradery among service members. None
