Group Portrait of Six Military Officers in Tropical Service Uniform

Six officers pose in matching tropical service uniforms with Sam Browne belts and riding boots outside a garrison building. Uniforms of this style were worn by U.S. Marine Corps advisors and Nicaraguan Guardia Nacional officers during the U.S. training mission and occupation of Nicaragua in the late 1920s and early 1930s, the period and command structure associated with this collection's namesake, General Jiron.
