As casualties from World War I in Europe began to multiply, a group of young Americans volunteered to drive ambulances at the front with the American Field Service (AFS). AFS was made up of college boys, young professionals, artists, and businessmen, including Wiscasset's Edward Carter Sortwell.

Foley shares photos, letters, and objects, which are the foundation of "Before the Doughboys" at Smithsonian Institution in 2014.
