America in World War I: Caught! (b/w photo)

Caught! Admiral Sims says: "Admiral Sir Lewis Bayly was so reticent and excessively modest that he was averse to having his picture taken; even the motion picture operator detailed to get an historic record of the arrival of our destroyers did not get a good view of the Admiral, for whenever Sir Lewis saw him coming he would turn his back to the camera." However, when Sir Lewis visited this country in February, 1921, Captain Lawrence Rubel of Underwood and Underwood managed to procure for the compilers of this volume the above picture. We had to have it. The photograph was taken on the portico of the State, War and Navy Building, February 15, 1921. Illustration for US Official Pictures of the World War, showing America's Participation, selected from the official files of the War Department by William E Moore and James C Russell (Pictoria Bureau, 1920). Gravure printed.
