Camp In Cuba - A Glimpse into the Spanish-American War
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to 12th June 1898, capturing a historic moment at Camp McCalla in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The image showcases the convergence of two forces during this tumultuous time. On one side, we see the distinguished members of Colonel Robert Watkinson Huntington's 1st Marine Battalion, proudly donning their garrison caps as they stand tall and ready. Opposite them are the Cuban Mambises (insurgents), led by Lieutenant Colonel Tomas. These brave fighters wear straw hats and sailor uniforms provided by Captain Bowman H. McCalla, USN, who commands both these Cuban troops and the U. S. S. Marblehead. The centerpiece of this photograph is undoubtedly the formidable Colt Model 1895 Machine gun mounted on its carriage—a symbol of military might that played a crucial role in shaping history. Both Marines and Cubans carry Lee Navy Rifles, Model 1895—weapons that were instrumental in securing victory for their respective causes during this conflict between America and Spain. This snapshot offers a glimpse into an era when alliances were forged amidst war-torn landscapes—the Caribbean islands serving as a backdrop to this significant chapter in history. Preserved by Hulton Archive/Getty Images with utmost care, this remarkable piece allows us to reflect upon the courage and sacrifice displayed by those who fought on both sides while reminding us of our shared human experiences shaped by conflicts past.
