    This photograph of two members of the White House Grounds staff was taken by Harris & Ewing circa 1916 to 1919. The two men are seen feeding two sheep on the South Lawn of the White House. It is possible these sheep were among the flock employed by President Woodrow Wilson to graze on the South Lawn, enabling the lawn to be maintained while men were at war and using the wool from the sheep to be sold as a fundraiser for the Red Cross.
