Title
English: Studio portrait of Norman Archibald in uniform, circa 1918
Description
English:

Hazel Marjorie (Archibald) Draper (1891-1973) and Norman Silas "Jim" Archibald (1894-1975) were born in Seattle to real estate developer Silas W. Archibald (1864-aft 1952) and Elizabeth Jane (Langille) Archibald (1866-), who had emigrated from Nova Scotia, Canada, after their 1889 marriage. Both Hazel and Norman served in France during World War I. Norman was a lieutenant with the 95th Aero Squadron, U. S. Army, in September 1918 when his SPAD biplane fighter aircraft was shot down behind enemy lines and he was taken prisoner by the Germans. A month later, Hazel, a talented pianist and songwriter, joined the American Red Cross in Paris and worked as an entertainer in the Red Cross Hospital Hut Service. Hazel continually sought information on the condition and whereabouts of her brother, finally reuniting with him in Tours, France, two months later. In this image Norman Archibald poses in a Paris photo studio wearing his uniform, likely some time before his capture. In his 1935 book "Heaven High, Hell Deep," Norman recounts his experiences in WWI, from his decision to become an aviator in 1917 through his reunion with his sister in December 1918. Norman returned to military service in 1942, receiving a commission as captain in the United States Air Force.
