EDITORS COMMENTS
February 1913 - The United States Marine Corps mobilizes at League Island in Philadelphia's Naval Shipyard as they prepare to depart for Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. This historic moment marks a significant response to the Mexican Revolution, which had been escalating tensions along the US-Mexico border since 1910.
In this striking photograph by Bain News Service, American Marines are seen boarding the USS Meade (AP-3), an Army transport ship that would carry them across the Caribbean. The image captures a sense of urgency and purpose as these brave men prepare to face uncertain times in Cuba.
The year 1913 was marked by significant global events, including World War I on the horizon. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of America's military preparedness during this tumultuous period. As we gaze upon the determined faces of these Marines, we are reminded of their unwavering commitment to serving their country and upholding its values.
This powerful image is now part of Heritage Images' extensive collection, offering a unique glimpse into American history at the dawn of World War I.
