Lindley Garrison was Secretary of War in the first Woodrow Wilson cabinet, appointed in 1913 but resigning early in 1916 over differences with Wilson on military intervention in the Mexican revolution, and on U. S. preparedness and the question of a peacetime standing army. Garrison wanted a full U. S. military invasion of Mexico; Wilson did not. Photo dated 7-2-13.

Photo dated 7-2-13, which indicates that these gentlemen were posed on the Gettysburg battlefield at the time of the 50th anniversary commemoration of the battle. Brigadier General Hunter Liggett, shown here, was commander in charge of the anniversary encampment. Another photo shows Gen. Liggett (name misspelled) at the Gettysburg commemoration: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3640756941/
