"Over There," 1918
Add to SetSummary
Norman Rockwell captured the camaraderie of Army life in an image created for the cover of the January 1918 issue of Life magazine -- it proved appropriate for this song sheet as well. Sixteen of the twenty-eight Life covers Rockwell created from 1917 to 1924 depicted scenes of military life and soldiers' eventual return to civilian life.
