This 1920s snapshot shows five men -- believed to be New York City police officers who served together in France during the First World War -- posed informally on a waterfront street. Their matching riding breeches and tall boots reflect the uniform trousers of a mounted or motorcycle police unit, worn here without jackets in a relaxed, off-duty moment. Such candid images offer a rare glimpse of servicemen-turned-officers at leisure in the years following the Great War. Project: 218517
