  • Barbara (LOC P&P) said:
    Thanks for connecting this and related photos up with the probable event. Although I haven't yet found this specific photo reproduced, I did find testimony that pictures of the proceedings were considered newsworthy in a New-York Tribune advertisement (July 23, 1915), seen via the historic American newspapers site, Chronicling America: chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1915-07-23/ed-... (lower right). We'll add information when we next update the description.

    The account of the several 1916 Memorial Day parades in New York notes that the New York National Guard's First Armored Motor Battery would march in the Manhattan parade. query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=FB0A16F93A5B17... Another picture of this armored car appears elsewhere on the web with this caption: "Mack armored car built for the New York National Guard in 1916. Three vehicles were completed, all on different chassis, but with similar armored body." www.warwheels.net/USAArmoredCarThesisHAUGHto1940.html www.warwheels.net/images/mack1916haugh.jpg The NGNY on the side of the car indicates it is from the National Guard of New York. Another photo from a 1916 parade, perhaps this one, shows 3 different NGNY armored cars: armoredcars-ww-one.blogspot.com/2011/11/new-york-national... www.macktrucks.com/default.aspx?pageid=481 (Identified as Mack Model AB armored car) Motor Age magazine from April, 1916, contains a complete description and photos of this vehicle. books.google.com/books?id=s1UfAQAAMAAJ&dq=mack%20Mode...

    Note that this armored car has an unprotected crank starter in front. I guess if it stalled in the face of the enemy you were SOL.

    The Université de Caen Basse-Normandie collection has just been added to The Commons. Here are two photos from the Université de Caen Basse-Normandie collection of the very same vehicle ("B-1") apparently made part of a feature about US troops as they deployed to France during the First World War. See: Université de Caen Basse-Normandie Photo 1A1182101_283348XI067 [http://www.flickr.com/photos/universite_caen/15244298981/]and Université de Caen Basse-Normandie Photo 1A1182101_283348XI068
