Philippine-American War (Pasig, Rizal - March 15, 1899)


Philippine-American War

The captions are the original ones and show the American point of view (1899)

"The wall of fire. Part of the firing line near Pasig, March 15, 1899. It represents volley-firing in clock-like order at the insurgent intrenchments. The picture was taken just before the general advance."



"This shows effect of first smokeless powder used by Americans in the Philippines. The guns are the old Springfield model. Photograph taken during heat of the action at Pasig. In this instance it is long distance firing."
