The record identifies its subject as a Major Gregory undergoing a medical inspection, but it gives no date, location, or further detail about the man or the examination. Such inspections were routine in the early twentieth century, when military recruits and enlisted men were checked for fitness before service or duty. The negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied photographs to newspapers in those decades. Because the title comes from caption cards that have not been verified, the identities of the man and the occasion should be treated as provisional.
