This picture is distinguished by its title, which pairs a Sergeant Gibson with the Yankees. The record notes that the title comes from unverified caption data, so the identity of the sergeant and whether "Yankees" refers to the New York baseball club or another group cannot be confirmed here. The image is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Its wide range of subjects, from sports and public events to military life, makes the collection a useful record of that period, though this particular print's date and circumstances are not recorded.
