notes: label: Description
content: Oil on illustration board. Portrait of Major William A. Snow. Snow possibly wears a Mackinaw (coat) made of olive drab wool with a shawl collar and belt. His coat has two gold chevrons on the lower left arm sleeve (indicating overseas service), two gold chevrons on his lower right arm sleeve (referring to wounds he recieved while working on wire entanglements), and shoulder loop insignia of a Major. Snow wears a overseas cap with engineers scarlet and white piping. It was converted to a officers cap by adding the shirt insignia of a Major. Snow has brown hair, blue eyes, and is clean shaven. His signature in red crayon is at the bottom left corner. On the reverse is a typed letter by Snow written to Chase describing his experience in the A.E.F.
