balkanwar

Here is an article (10/6/1912 from NYTimes) that mentions that the passenger liner, Martha Washington, was carrying Greek reservists who had been summoned home by royal decree. query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9D00E4D7113AE6...

I think it's Serbian Red Cross. The first Balkan War lasted from October 1912 to May 1913. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balkan_Wars

konnakki: Thanks for your comment! At the time of this photograph, the term Servian was in use in the U.S. and other English-speaking countries, and was used somewhat interchangeably with Serbian. Here is one example of the use of the phrase 'Servian Red Cross' in the New York Times from November 1912. All that being said, it would be helpful to also add a reference to Serbia to this record for those searching by the more well-known name. We will do so and then reload the descriptive data to Flickr.

The next photo in this same series may be the same scene from another angle, that picture has a poster about a show at Webster Hall and here we have a view of Webster Hall. The First Balkan War broke out in October 1912, here is article from Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Balkan_War
