20th Kansas Regiment Band, Manila, Philippines
On December 10, 1898 the Treaty of Paris was signed between the United States and Spain ending the Spanish-American War. The treaty was passed in the United States Senate on February 6, 1899 by one vote. This photograph represents the 20th Kansas Regiment Band with their instruments in Manila, Philippines near the end of the war. Can you notice the similarities between bands over 100 years ago and today?
