I believe this photo is related to this incident, which would time this at April, 1914: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_occupation_of_Veracruz

Great photo - Wrong caption. The buildings in background do not match Veracruz ca. 1914. USS Chester attacked Naval academy early morning (8-9 am) on 22 April 1914. One of the men seems to be looking for planes. There were no planes flying over Veracruz on that date.
