Maj. W.G. Kilner is named in this picture as the man shown inspecting something, though the record gives no date and the identification comes from caption cards the Bain News Service attached to its negatives. The Bain agency, based in New York, supplied news pictures of public figures and events to newspapers in the early decades of the twentieth century. Because the studio's caption information was sometimes unverified, the identity of the officer and the occasion should be read as provisional.
