EDITORS COMMENTS
February 1913: The United States Marine Corps mobilizes at League Island in Philadelphia's Naval Shipyard as they prepare to deploy on the USS Meade bound for Guantanamo, Cuba. This historic moment marks a significant response to the Mexican Revolution, which had been escalating since 1910.
In this powerful photograph by Bain News Service, American Marines can be seen boarding the transport ship Meade with crates and equipment in tow. The image captures the sense of urgency and purpose as these brave men prepare for duty abroad.
The USS Meade was a U.S. Army transport ship that played a crucial role in transporting troops during World War I. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of America's military history, particularly during this tumultuous period when international tensions were running high.
As the Marines load onto the ship, they are unaware of the challenges and conflicts that lie ahead. Yet, with determination etched on their faces, they stand ready to face whatever comes next. This photograph is not only a testament to America's military might but also a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by those who serve.
