I believe that this is the "Propylaea" (gateway) on the Acropolis of Athens. Going through the gateway (which served as a checkpoint) leads you to the Parthenon.

Athens was in the news in late 1916, "seething with unrest" according to the Philadelphia Evening Public Ledger., October 19, 1916, Night Extra, Page 4 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045211/1916-10-19/ed-... See also en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noemvriana "The Noemvriana (Greek: Νοεμβριανά, "November Events") of November–December 1916, or the Greek Vespers, was a political dispute, which led to an armed confrontation in Athens between the royalist government of Greece and the forces of the Allies over the issue of Greece's neutrality during World War I."
