Assistant Paymaster (Lieutenant) Andrew Mowat, USN (right)
On board USS President Lincoln, circa 1917-1918.
The officer on the right is identified (on the reverse of the
original print) as "Lieutenant J.E. Johnston, Medical Corps".
However, James E. Johnston was an Assistant Paymaster (Ensign),
USNRF, and the uniform worn by the officer on the left does not
appear to have Pay Corps insignia.
Both Paymaster Mowat and Paymaster Johnston were lost when President
Lincoln was sunk on 31 May 1918.
