Revisiting Co. L Ill. N.G. photo:
This photo had to be taken after the 1903 Dedication by President Theodore Roosevelt.
In the "Co. L" photo, the small plaque noting the 1903 Dedication is present.
I cropped the "T.R. Dedication" Photo from 1903 and the sub-plaque is absent.
FWIW - Some of the members of "Co. L" appear mighty small! I wonder if they are not military school cadets and some liberties were taken with the caption?
