The picture shows the U.S. Naval Rifle Range at Camp Logan, Illinois, with Ensign S.M. Abrams named as commanding officer. The record dates it to around 1917 or 1918, though that date comes from an unverified caption card. Those were the years the United States entered and fought in the First World War, when the Navy trained recruits and reservists in marksmanship before they were sent to sea or overseas. Rifle ranges like this one were part of that effort, and the photographic print was issued with a copyright credit to Mole & Thomas.
