Appears to have been a captain at the time of this portrait.
Film&PhotoArchivist said:
He ended up a Brigadier General (USMC) www.arlingtoncemetery.net/feevans.htm Would appear to have a Sumner Class Destroyer (WWII era) named after him too.

Jon (LOC P&P) said:
artolog, thanks for the additional information. We'll put his full name in our record. I looked at some other photos of British Maj. Generals around the same time, and I believe our photo is correct, but I'm not an expert on uniforms, so if anyone knows for certain, tell us which is correct.
Art Siegel said:
Well, the National Portrait Gallery photo shows Headlam's hair parted on his left, so we should assume LOC has the correct image. www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/portraitLarge/mw94806/S...
