I've seen this footage before, but it's still amazing. All of those little Baldwins being unloaded from ships! But you have to think, how many of those men made it back home?

I was surprised to see an oxyacetylene torch being used to cut bolt holes in rail at 3:40. I hadn't known that technology was around in 1917.
