U-2041 Incredible WW1 Trunk Grouping for a WW1
Signal Corps Photographer who took some of the best known
photos of WW1. During WW2 he was placed in the WRPS-( War
Relocation Photographic Section). He took a significant
number of photo documentation of Japanese in relocation
camps. Some of these were propaganda in nature so the
American population would think they were being treated very
well and had great lives in the camps. He also photographed
the 442ND Regimental Combat Team, a Japanese American Unit
sent to fight in the ETO.
His importance as a WW1 and
WW2 photographer cannot be overstated. If this grouping had
a uniform, it would be in the museum! It does have his named
WW1 helmet, named gas mask set, named Mess kit and of course
named trunk. His gas mask is inscribed "Bon Ami", French for
"good friend" and it actually was used in 2 gas attacks as
documented by Mace in the record card. There is a German
sand bag, a section of German papercloth camoflage cloth in
a large triangular shape and what appears to be a papercloth
German curtain for observation positions in the front
trenches. The photos shown are NOT INCLUDED. These
were found on the internet and are representative of hundred
that he took for the signal corps. $2995
Although born in North Hampton England, in 1889, Charles
Mace was brought as an infant to Colorado. He grew up and
attended local schools in Denver. After graduating from high
school, Mace worked as a staff photographer for the
Associated Press and worked for various area newspapers
including the Rocky Mountain News and the Denver
Post . During World War I Mace served in the U.S.
military and was assigned to the Army Signal Corps as a
photographer in the European theater.
After the war, Mace and his brother Gordon, who was also
a photographer, invested in a mountain inn—The Baldpate Inn
near Estes Park, CO—which they ran for many years. The inn
was quite successful, became well-known, and still exists
today. Along with running the inn, Mace continued his work
in photography, and was soon exhibiting his Colorado nature
photos in galleries, domestically and internationally. He
also developed skill as a commercial photographer, and was
good enough to win contracts to shoot advertisements for
Eastman Kodak, Colgate, and other well-known companies.
When the Denver-based WRAPS(War Relocation Photographic
Section) office was established in 1943, director
Tom Parker hired Mace because of his skills as a
photographer as well as the darkroom. When staff member
Francis L. Stewart resigned at the end of 1943, Mace
replaced him as the second key WRAPS photographer after
Parker. At that time, Parker sought another person to run
the darkroom and identified
Hikaru Iwasaki , a 19-year old
Nisei , who was incarcerated at the
WRA camp known as
Heart Mountain , to fill the job. Parker left the outfit
in 1944, in part in order to make a film for the United
States Navy. At that point Mace took over directorship of
WRAPS and was the chief photographer; Parker however
returned within the year to resume his assignment as head of
the WRAPS.
Next to Parker and Iwasaki, Mace was the most productive
documentarian. His fellow photographer Hikaru Iwasaki
counted Charles Mace as his favorite colleague in the WRAPS,
describing him as a "great guy," and someone who felt deep
sympathy in regard to the plight of Japanese Americans
during the war. In this sense, Iwasaki said that Mace hoped
his
resettlement photographs would encourage Japanese
Americans to leave camp and re-enter society even while the
war was still in progress.
Mace has over 800 photos online in the Japanese American
Relocation Digital Archives (JARDA).
