A sixth plate ambrotype captures the image of a young "Raw Recruit," playfully posed in a military uniform, holding a broomstick fashioned as a rifle. The recruit stands at attention, his broomstick shouldered as if it were a real firearm, with a sign that humorously labels him as a "Raw Recruit." The expression on his face suggests a mix of determination and uncertainty, perfectly encapsulating the essence of a new recruit who is yet to see the realities of military life.
