Veracruz, the Gulf port that U.S. Navy forces seized in April 1914 during the Mexican Revolution, is the setting for this scene of control passing between services. The occupation moved from naval to Army command in late 1914, and the title in the Bain News Service records describes that handover, though the record gives no date. Bain's agency sent photographs of news events like this to newspapers across the country, so the glass negative preserves a moment in an episode that drew wide attention. The caption comes from the agency's own notes and has not been independently verified.
