The title on this glass negative names Col. Kitchener, though the caption data is unverified and no date is recorded. The name most likely refers to Horatio Herbert Kitchener, the British officer who led forces in the Sudan and the Boer War and later served as Secretary of State for War until his death at sea in 1916. The Bain News Service, a New York agency, circulated pictures of public figures like him to newspapers, so the plate was probably made as a press image.
