Edwin Frederick Weigle (March 13, 1889 – August 1, 1973) was a cameraman for the Chicago Tribune, cinematographer and documentary film maker.

In 1915 and 1916, the Chicago Tribune again sent Weigle to Europe where he shot film on the Western and Eastern Front for The German Side of the War.

[5] [6] After the American entry in the war, Weigle joined the U.S. Signal Corps, and filmed with the 35th Division in France during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive.

Scenes taken by Weigle in June 1918 at an artillery school in Fort Sill, Oklahoma, were retrieved by the authors in the collection of the National Archives.

In 2017, Weigle's original combat camera - a Bell & Howell 2709 - that he cranked while filming with the 35th Division, A.E.F, at the Western Front was discovered by the authors in the historical collection of a movie prop house.
