Cummings is identified here as a veteran at "MAINE" exercises, though the title comes from caption information the Bain News Service recorded and has not been independently verified. The "MAINE" label most likely points to the battleship USS Maine or to a Maine unit, but the record does not say which. Bain News Service, a New York photo agency founded by George Grantham Bain, sold news pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its glass negatives record many military and public events of that era. The date is not recorded, so the exact occasion remains unknown.
