The title names a memorial associated with Langley and a person named Flanagan, but the record gives no date, location, or sculptor, and the title itself comes from unverified Bain News Service notes. The Bain News Service, a New York picture agency founded by George Grantham Bain, sold news photographs to newspapers from the early 1900s through the 1920s, and its glass negatives document the ceremonies, buildings, and public figures of that period. Caption cards and related catalog entries are the best places to confirm which memorial is shown and when it was photographed.
