    A Naval Militia in the USA is usually part of the State defence organization. Here's info on New York's one: www.dmna.state.ny.us/nynm/naval.php

    The dates on both the negative and the sticker begin with 4 and end with 7 or 17, indicating April 1917. The original day of the month appears to have been changed, possibly corrected.
  • Wystan said:
    So here's another instance of Bain's reuse of a 1913 military photo after Wilson's (and Congress's) declaration of war against Germany (April 6, 1917).

A motley crew?

    interesting, there are 3 african american men, plus a 2 men in a derby hat mixed in. One of the 3 is wearing the same hat as the others. In some ways the navy was more integrated than society as a whole at this time.
