U.S. Army marching band assembled in front of the Pantheon building at A Century of Progress.

 

The building housed the famed Pantheon de la Guerre, a giant panorama of World War I painted on a canvas 45 feet high and over the length of one football field. Over 130 French artists worked on the Pantheon in Paris during the First World War. The painting depicted a procession of political and military leaders from over 20 Allied nations.
