Rear Admiral Julian L. Latimer Inspecting U.S. Marine Camp, Managua, Nicaragua
Rear Admiral Julian L. Latimer, commander of U.S. naval forces during the Nicaraguan intervention, inspects a Marine encampment at Managua in the late 1920s. Marines in field khaki stand near a period staff car as U.S. forces maintained a presence in Nicaragua during the campaign against rebel leader Augusto César Sandino, part of the broader era of American military intervention in Central America known as the Banana Wars.
