Kronprinz Wilhelm operated with the Imperial German Navy during the beginning months of World War I, before being interned in the United States in April 1915.  She was seized when the United States entered the War, and turned over to the U.S. Navy where she was commissioned as USS Von Steuben in June 1917. Initially envisioned as an auxiliary cruiser, she ultimately became a troop transport.   See my other auctions for more items relating to this soldier. 3 3/8 x 5 3/8 inches.
