Four of them carry long arm rifles in a ready-position to fire, or perhaps have already fired their weapons. One uniformed man, who appears to be the superior officer, stands to the side presumably giving them the salute order. A crowd stands a distance to the back. This event in Sawtelle, Los Angeles, was both an Armistice Day service and a rally for decreased war profiteering.
