Lt. L.H. Lacy (LOC)

  The hat! The braid! The enormous epaulettes!

• TVL1970 said:

  This appears to be a misidentification (probably due to the original caption being cut off at the bottom of the photo) by the folks at Bain. This is not Lieut. "F.H. Lacy", but Lieut. L.H. Lacy. Lt. Lindsay Hensley Lacy (USN) was a 1903 graduate of the Naval Academy at Annapolis, and contemporary accounts (1913 Annual Report of the American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society) describe him as an aid to Admiral Cameron McR Winslow (who is featured in a number of Bain/LOC photos). The same Lindsay H. Lacy would be listed years later as a member of the English Department faculty at Louisiana State University (LSU) in the 1930s and 1940s.

  NYT social section of June 10, 1906 has him as best man for Lieut. William Theodore Tarrant who was marrying Ruth Gibson, daughter of Rear Admiral William C. Gibson. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FA0616FD3C5A12738... Bottom right of chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85066387/1906-11-18/ed-... lists him as an officer on "The Charleston" which was under the command of Winslow.

• Arden said:

  TVL 1970: Thanks for catching the caption on the bottom of the photo. It looks like this is Lieut. L.H. Lacy. We will fix the title and add more information when we update the description.

  More information about the engagement of the enemy ships by the Royal Garrison Artillery can be had from the Royal Artillery Museum, Firepower, based in the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich. For his gallantry during the action, the commander of one of the guns was awarded the first Distinguished Conduct Medal won in Britain. I think some mention of the defence should be included in the summary of the bombardment or else it looks as though it was a one-sided action.

  Great photograph! You could write an entire story based on this photograph!
