That's correct.  This picture almost gives meaning to the term "hurry up and wait."  As I recall this photo was made in 1918 and supposedly 17,000 men were in the photo.  I've always questioned that number, so someone get busy and count 'em.

I'd say closer to 1700 men, and that might be a bit high

DAR = Daughers of the American Revolution.  Gotta be able to trace your family back to a soldier in the ARW. 

That photo is one of a series : massed photos

and

more massed group photos

And interesing, if short lived, art form.
