The title describes a battle-scarred scene at a Baltimore war show, though the record gives no date, so the exact occasion is unconfirmed. The George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress holds news photographs made and distributed by the Bain News Service, mostly from the early twentieth century, and wartime exhibitions of this kind were common then as public events meant to show military equipment and the realities of combat to civilians. The title comes from caption information the agency supplied and has not been independently verified, so it is worth reading the damaged setting itself for clues about what was on display.
