So why are there tags for this photo of "pussy" and "riot?" Curious. Aside from that, I can imagine the thoughts of the native Americans, thinking "if only... "

John Guarino Anyone can add tags.

I was also wondering about those doubtful tags...

Another picture of the same event ran in the Evening star. (Washington, D.C.) , August 12, 1917 with the caption: "Heap Big Chief getting acquainted with fire stick of paleface. Group of Indians, on a visit to the "U. S. S. Recruit" in New York to aid in recruiting, examining the machine gun aboard that "vessel." Chief Bald Eagle, leader of the band, is aiming the weapon." chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045462/1917-08-12/ed-...

Field Marshal Herbert Charles Onslow Plumer, 1st Viscount Plumer, GCB GCMG GCVO GBE (13 March 1857 – 16 July 1932) was a senior British Army officer of the First World War. After commanding V Corps at the Second Battle of Ypres in April 1915, he took command of the Second Army in May 1915 and in June 1917 won an overwhelming victory over the German Army at the Battle of Messines, which started with the simultaneous explosion of a series of mines placed by the Royal Engineers' tunnelling companies beneath German lines, which created 19 large craters and was described as the loudest explosion in human history. He later served as Commander-in-Chief of the British Army of the Rhine and then as Governor of Malta before becoming High Commissioner of the British Mandate for Palestine in 1925 and retiring in 1928. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Plumer,_1st_Viscount_Plumer

Richard Norton: Thank you for the additional details for about Herbert Plumer and his service in World War I. We have later photos of Plumer (as High Commissioner for the British Mandate in Palestine) in the Matson Photograph Collection. For example: www.loc.gov/pictures/item/mpc2004007194/PP/

the 1925 date on the negative may be for a re-use, as he doesn't look 68 in this photo.
