The man's WWI-era US Army uniform (campaign hat, tunic, puttees) strongly dates the photo to the period of American involvement in WWI or shortly after (1917-1919). The woman's sailor dress and headband are consistent with late 1910s fashion. The genealogical data shows Esther Burd married Albert Fox in 1920, and Albert was in Detroit in 1917-1918; this could be a courtship photo during his service.
