Bluejackets arranged into a living display of Allied flags set this photograph apart. The men belonged to the U.S. Naval Training Station at Pelham Bay, New York, which was established in the Bronx during World War I to train large numbers of recruits for the fleet. The caption card names William B. Franklin as commander, though the record notes that this information is unverified. Tableaux like this were a popular way to show wartime unity among the Allied nations.
