Probably recruiter "Ensign Harry Erlanger, 790 Riverside Drive, New York NY" aboard the recruiting vessel USS Recruit in Union Square in 1918. "USS Recruit, also known as the Landship Recruit, was a wooden mockup of a dreadnought battleship constructed by the United States Navy in Manhattan in New York City, as a recruiting tool and training ship during the First World War." books.google.com/books?id=VNFGAQAAIAAJ&pg=RA2-PA59&am... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Recruit_(1917)

Erlanger was court-martialed for bribery and acquited in 1919. However, his commission was revoked in October, 1919 as a result of the charges. query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9F05E2DE1138EE... books.google.com/books?id=zTNHAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA24&dq...
