At Quantico, the Virginia base that served as the Marine Corps' main training ground, this 1924 negative records a scene involving Wilburn and Lejeune, with the title tying it to a football game. John A. Lejeune was Commandant of the Marine Corps from 1920 to 1929, so his presence would have marked a significant occasion. The title data comes from the photographer's sleeve and is unverified, and the record does not identify the team behind "C.U." National Photo Company glass negatives like this one often show streaks and surface loss from age, which may be visible here.
