American
Cinematographers
in the Great War,
1914-1918
James W. Castellan · Ron van Dopperen · Cooper C. Graham
World War I gave birth to a new kind of journalist: the film correspondent. From 1914,
while the United States was still neutral, newsreel companies and newspapers sent a special
group of cinematographers from the United States to record the Great War. These pioneer-
ing cameramen, who originally had worked as still photographers and had carried nothing
heavier than a Kodak or Graflex, now had to lug their cumbersome film equipment into the
trenches. Aside from personal danger at the front, they also risked summary execution as
supposed spies while having to deal with military red tape and censorship.
Based on extensive research in European and American archives, American Cinematogra-
phers in the Great War describes the adventures of these remarkable cameramen and the
way they managed to film in spite of enormous difficulties. Theirs is a story told from two
sides: the business interests of American film companies and newspapers that played an im-
portant part in producing and exhibiting war films, and the propaganda interests of the
European authorities in showing the war in American theatres in the most favourable light.
After the United States entered the war, many of these cameramen received commissions in
the U.S. Army Signal Corps, where their expertise was crucial to the Signal Corps’ expand-
ing photographic unit as well as the government’s propaganda agency, the Committee on
Public Information.
