U.S. Naval Gun Factory, Washington Navy Yard, District of Columbia

Panoramic photograph of the Gun Factory's Yeoman (F) force, posed in front of the north end of the Building 57, March 1919.
Seated in the center of the front row are Captain Arthur L. Willard, Captain Martin E. Trench and an unidentified Lieutenant.
Seated in the front row, fifth from left (marked by a small arrow), is Yeoman Second Class Charlotte Louise Berry.
Note the two banners behind the group, one featuring the Naval Gun Factory emblem and the other its seal, and the sign partially hidden by the right-most banner, reading "Accounting ... Department ... 2nd Floor".
Also note the variety of uniform hats worn by these Yeomen (F), with broad-brimmed felt and straw hats predominating, most with flat crowns, but some with rounded crowns. A few of these hats have significantly broader brims than the others. Two or three "Yeomanettes" (near the rear of the group, below the left-most banner) are wearing men's "flat hats", at least one reshaped in beret style. The most common hat ribbons read "U.S. Navy", but several "U.S. Naval Reserve" ribbons are present, along at least one "U.S. Naval Reserve Force" (worn by YN2 Berry) and a few "Receiving Ship at Washington". Chief Petty Officers' cap badges are worn both at a slant and vertical.
Photographed by E. DeSouza, 731-733 Seventh Street, N.E., Washington, D.C.

Donation of Mrs. John R. Winters (Charlotte Louise Berry Winters), 1979.
