Part 3 (PH 4928): Additions, undated 0.7 cubic feet of photographs (1 archives box, 1 flat box, and 1 oversize folder), 0.4 cubic feet of negatives (2 negative boxes), and 0.1 cubic feet of ephemera (1 oversize folder) : Photographs and negatives, many made by Rice while serving as an ambulance driver during World War I. The photographs include images of friends and acquaintances in the French and American armies, landmarks and sites, and military encampments. The photographs also contain images of war torn Europe, including life in the trenches, demolished towns, and wounded and dead soldiers. Many images are of Rice as a young man, showing Rice on his way to France and receiving honors from the French army. Ephemera consists of war-related broadsides, menus, and publications about the war, apparently created in the United States for civilian use. Noted ephemera includes an issue of Leslie's in which Rice is profiled as well as wartime menus from the Biltmore Hotel in New York City.
