  • usmcontra said:
    This is a drummer from "The President's Own" US Marine Band. It appears that the picture is taken on the parade deck of Marine Barracks, Washington, DC. The white in the background looks like a wing of the Home of the Commandants and the window to the left looks like it belongs to one of the officers quarters buildings.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    usmcontra: Thanks for the information about the US Marine Band and the possible location. We will update the source data and upload the description.

    Thank you so much for this information David Valdes. We'll see about adding the name to the record the next time we update.
