1909224671909. Soldier Harold Howard's person documentaation of service in the 11th U.S. Cavalry during the period of American military occupation and intervention in Cuba following the Spanish American War. These photographs place an enlisted cavalryman within the broader framework of U.S. expansionist policy in the Caribbean under the Platt Amendment when American troops were repeatedly deployed to Cuba to oversee political stability infrastructure and economic interests. The archive includes identified images of Sgt. Harold Howard and captures both formal military organization and informal daily life offering a ground-level record of U.S. cavalry presence during a period of continued occupation and reintervention including the second U.S. occupation of Cuba from 1912 to 1913.<br /> <br /> Archive of nine vintage silver gelatin photographs ranging approximately from 3.5 x 5 inches to 10 x 13 inches many mounted to original photographer boards and some annotated in ink or pencil. Two large-format formal group portraits depict Troop K 11th U.S. Cavalry at Fort Oglethorpe Georgia 1913 showing soldiers in full dress uniform arranged in tiered formation with visible regimental flag marked "11" and "K" with Howard identified in one image. Smaller photographs include a group portrait of U.S. cavalrymen in Pinar del Río Cuba dated 1908 showing soldiers in campaign dress posed near a stable as well as candid camp scenes featuring cooking areas barracks life and assembled troops. Two photo postcards function as personal correspondence with handwritten messages from Howard dated April 1 and September 9 1913 addressed to Mrs. A. L. Howard in Maine referencing weather conditions and upcoming exhibition drills providing direct evidence of mobility and routine within cavalry service. Additional images include a cabinet card of two uniformed soldiers and a scene depicting Black Cuban civilians posed near a thatched structure situating U.S. military presence within local social environments.<br /> <br /> Taken together the archive documents the lived experience of a U.S. cavalryman operating within the infrastructure of American imperial policy in the Caribbean linking domestic military bases such as Fort Oglethorpe with overseas deployment in Cuba. The photographs record both the formal visual culture of the U.S. Army and the everyday conditions of enlisted service while the inclusion of Cuban subjects and locations underscores the entanglement of military occupation with local populations. General edge wear throughout with occasional pinholes adhesive remnants and minor chipping to mounts; some toning to boards. Photographs remain clear and stable with annotations legible.

194049272n.p.: U.S. Army c. 1940. good. 8" x 13" 1 single sheet folded in quarters illus. paper darkened. This training aid--a display of soldier's clothing and equipment for inspection--was probably issued circa 1940. The date might be earlier but based on the serial number represented on the duffle bag and the style of gas mask it appears this was published in the late inter-war period. The training aid shows the layout of clothing and equipment that would be laid out on a barracks bed. It specifies what enlisted personnel are expected to be wearing when the inspection occurs and that soldiers who are absent should leave behind a list of the clothing they were wearing. The training aid is printed on one side with drawings of numbered items largely on the left side and numbers with the item identification largely on the right side. U.S. Army hardcover

1923215951923. African American MilitaryWWI Muller William G. The Twenty-Fourth Infantry 1923 documents the service of a Black regiment in the United States Army tracing its development from Reconstruction through the Mexican Border War. Written by Captain William G. Muller the volume situates the regiment's origins in the 1869 consolidation of the 38th and 41st Infantry regiments among the first post-Civil War units composed of Black enlisted men and follows its campaigns across the Western frontier Cuba during the Spanish American War and Mexico during the 1916 to 1917 Punitive Expedition. Produced at a time when Black military service was constrained by segregation the work offers insight into the service of Buffalo Soldiers in the decades preceding formal desegregation.<br /> <br /> Muller William G. The Twenty-Fourth Infantry. 1923. The text opens with a dedication "To those colored non-commissioned officers and soldiers whose unswerving loyalty and devotion of the regiment made possible these brilliant pages of history." Extensively illustrated with photographic portraits of senior Black noncommissioned officers among them Regimental Sergeant Major Walter B. Williams Color Sergeant Wm. G. Wilcox and Regimental Color Sergeant Abraham Hill identified as "one of the Army's great rifle shots." Additional images document encampments in New Mexico and Texas scenes from Mexico during the Punitive Expedition and regimental athletics including a football team that competed against historically Black colleges such as Tuskegee and Talladega. The narrative emphasizes the regiment's record of discipline and cohesion asserting that its "high character.unsullied for 54 years" reflected institutional stability amid shifting national racial politics.<br /> <br /> The history reflects an effort to commemorate the service record of Black soldiers at a moment when their contributions to westward expansion the Spanish American War and border conflicts were indispensable. The sustained attention to leadership merit marksmanship and athletic competition underscores the high professional standards Black soldiers were held to in the face of systemic discrimination.
