A photo in cdm16694.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/ref/collection/p16124coll... with the caption: "Brigadier General Evan M. Johnson, Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels, and others reviewing 'New York's Own' 308th Infantry, United States Army on parade down Fifth Avenue, New York City, February 22, 1918" apparently shows the same event.

S. also article "City Thrilled by Spirit of "Its Own" - 10,000 Parading Through the Snow" in the New-York tribune., February 23, 1918, Image 1 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1918-02-23/ed-...

Brigadier General Evan M. Johnson (? - 1923), see www.militaryhallofhonor.com/honoree-record.php?id=42893 www.americanbattlegraves.com/index.php?page=directory&... www.flyingtigerantiques.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&...

Looks like the reviewing stand was in front of the New York Public Library at 42d and 5th Ave.
