The title breaks off after "Soldiers of," so the specific unit or occasion isn't recorded, but the 1914 date places the picture several years before the United States entered the First World War in 1917. That April, Marines and sailors landed at Veracruz, Mexico, and American Marines served in several Caribbean nations throughout that decade. The World War I label reflects the wider conflict that followed rather than this moment, so the uniforms and equipment are worth viewing with the pre-war period in mind.
