Hugo Wilson Osterhaus, a rear admiral in the United States Navy, earned the Navy Cross in World War I and on his death in 1972 was buried in Arlington National Cemetery: www.arlingtoncemetery.net/hwosterhaus2.htm Admiral Osterhaus was apparently stationed in New York City in 1911, so it's reasonable to guess that the "city hall" mentioned here is New York's, though the photographic evidence is slight. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9F04E7DF1E31E233A...
