American Army Officers in the Field, Philippines, Early 1900s (Carl Stone / Philippine Scouts Collection)
American Army officers, likely attached to the Philippine Scouts, gather informally in the field somewhere in the Philippine Islands, early 1900s. Their khaki uniforms, broad campaign hats, and field boots are typical of U.S. Army dress during the period following the Philippine-American War, when American officers commanded units of Filipino soldiers as part of the colonial garrison force.
