    W. F. Roos (William Frederick Roos) spent his freshman year Columbia in 1910, before entering Yale (1911-15 s). He excelled in the shot put and hammer throw. [1] Roos was also a member of the storied New York Athletic Club, and competed successfully with the 16-Pound Shot. [2] He was later employed at the Greater New York Ship Service Corporation in New York City. [3]

    It seems that the photo shows athletes of the soldier team at the Inter-Allied Games in Paris 1919. Among the members were: - Meredith House, Riverside, Cal., 200-metre low hurdles - Fred W. Kelly, Los Angeles, 100-metre high hurdles - R. L. Byrd, Chicago, discus throw - Ed Caughey, Ukiah, Cal., 16-pound shot put (s. The evening world., June 23, 1919, Final Edition, Image 15, col. 1 & 2 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030193/1919-06-23/ed-...)

    Looks to be taken at the same location as: Lt. Col. J.B. Johnson, Gen. E.B. Winans, Gen. W.G. Haan and wife, Col. R.M. Beck, Capt. D.D. Thompson (LOC)

    I hypothesize that both pictures were taken just after the troops arrived back in North America.
