Wystan: Other than the misspelling, and the misplacement of the names, which we will fix in the record, I'm not sure what you mean about the tags "intended to accompany a different photo."

Ryan, the original set of tags referred to details of an ocean liner. I now see that the poster of those tags has removed them and substituted appropriate ones.

I am certain that this picture was taken on July 7, 1914 or July 8, 1914. I've doing research on these photos and people: onenineonefour.blogspot.com/2013/08/19140708-bombmakers-a...

JSF539: Thanks for narrowing the date for this group. We'll include your info. next time we update.
