: I have a photograph of my grandfather William Henry Heagerty at the age of 16 and dated 1906. He is wearing on his left arm a white arm band tied in a bow. In my research I cannot find anything that mentions the wearing of arm bands, any idea what it may have been for?
: TIA

Well, in April 1906, we had the Great Fire & Earthquake. He may have been a relief worker perhaps.
