Touching 1918 photograph of Christy Mathewson, hero of Baseball now hero on the Battlefields of France. Standing at attention in full uniform "Captain Mathewson" would have no way of knowing that his service in the Army would take his life a few short years later from Tuberculosis (he was gassed in a training exercise). The offered image from the Western newspaper Union Photo Service is a rare photo in great shape.
