Brigadier Gen Liggett on the left, Gen Wood on the right.

General Leonard Wood was Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army.

Lindley Garrison was Secretary of War in the first Woodrow Wilson cabinet, appointed in 1913 but resigning early in 1916 over differences with Wilson on military intervention in the Mexican revolution, and on U. S. preparedness and the question of a peacetime standing army. Garrison wanted a full U. S. military invasion of Mexico; Wilson did not. Photo dated 7-2-13.

Thanks for the additional information. We may add them to the record.

Photo dated 7-2-13, which indicates that these gentlemen were posed on the Gettysburg battlefield at the time of the 50th anniversary commemoration of the battle. Brigadier General Hunter Liggett, shown here, was commander in charge of the anniversary encampment. Another photo shows Gen. Liggett (name misspelled) at the Gettysburg commemoration: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3640756941/

Hunter Liggett (March 21, 1857– December 30, 1935) was a lieutenant general of the United States Army. His forty-two years of service spanned the period from the Indian campaigns to trench warfare. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_Liggett

Fans of the Bain photostream last saw General Liggett pictured here in photos from July, 1913, when he presided over the 50th-anniversary encampment of veterans of the Battle of Gettysburg -- an event attended by President Woodrow Wilson and Vice President Thomas Marshall, among others:

I had the dubious pleasure of serving one of my 2 week active duty stints in the National Guard at Hunter Liggett Military Reservation. That was in the late 60's. The post is located not far from central California's King City. It is now officially called U.S. Army Garrison Fort Hunter Liggett. It gets plenty hot there.

One might observe that neither the heat nor the location of Fort Hunter Liggett can be considered to be the fault of General Liggett.
