This is a black and white photograph taken from a high angle, showing a massive formation of people arranged to resemble an American eagle. The 'eagle' is composed of approximately 12,500 soldiers and nurses, all in uniform, standing shoulder to shoulder. The eagle's wings are spread wide, and its head is clearly defined. The body of the eagle is densely packed with people, creating a solid shape. The formation is set against a backdrop of a military base, with rows of buildings and open fields visible in the distance. The sky is overcast, providing a neutral background for the formation. Text at the bottom of the image reads: 'The Human American Eagle 12,500 Officers, Nurses and Men Camp Gordon, Atlanta Ga. Maj. Gen. George H. Cameron, Commanding'. A copyright symbol and the year '1918' are also visible. The image has some signs of age, with minor scratches and blemishes.
