Reviewing a passage written by John Jay Schieffelin in Yale in the World War, Part One, by George Henry Nettleton (1925) (ISBN 076619695X, 9780766196957), entitled "The Second Yale Naval Unit," (Page 449), and comparing the names to The Yale Banner and Pot Pourri for 1915-1916, Edited by Russel Healey Lucas, Charles Rumford Walker, Jr., and Nelson Marion Way (1916), the names of those in the photograph are James Sanford Otis (presumably "Shorty Otis"), Edward deCernea, and John Jay Schieffelin. A chapter describing the performance of "The Second Yale Unit" authored by now-retired Rear Admiral John J. Schieffelin (USNR) was published in the book Naval Aviation In World War I, by Adrian O. Van Wyen (Historian, Deputy Chief of Naval Operations - Air) and the Editors of Naval Aviation News (1969).

There have clearly been plenty of "Buffalo strikes" from a search of the NYT. Perhaps associated with the April 1913 strike "of the motormen and conductors employed by the international Railway Company ." I think the date on the negative is 4/11/13. See NYT, April 12, 1913 BUFFALO STRIKE OFF; MAYOR BRINGS PEACE; Company Takes Back Its Men and Differences Will Be Adjusted. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9901E7DB1F3AE633A... The article notes that three regiments of the Fourth Brigade, National Guard had been on strike duty for three days. Does anyone know if the uniforms are right for that?

The NY State Military museum would probably know, and even be interested in this photo, however does not accept email inquiries www.dmna.state.ny.us/historic/pictures/empire.htm
