</p><p>This photo is of the regiment of the First <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebraska" class="extiw" title="en:Nebraska">en:Nebraska</a> volunteers, company B, serving the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States" class="extiw" title="en:United States">en:United States</a> in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine-American_War" class="extiw" title="en:Philippine-American War">en:Philippine-American War</a>.  The photo was taken in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1899" class="extiw" title="en:1899">en:1899</a>.
</p><p>I believe this photo was taken at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_Merritt,_California" class="extiw" title="en:Camp Merritt, California">Camp Merritt</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco" class="extiw" title="en:San Francisco">en:San Francisco</a> (I think this was in what is now <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Gate_Park" class="extiw" title="en:Golden Gate Park">en:Golden Gate Park</a>).
</p><p>The following quote is from "Officers and Members of the First Nebraska Regiment in San Francisco" <b>The Wave War Series No. 3 Vol.1 July 9, 1898</b>, and was found in the same photo album:
</p><p>"The 1st Nebraska had the honor of being the vanguard of the eastern troops mobilized in San Francisco that was to constitute the army of invasion of the Philippines."  
</p><p>My great-grandfather George W. Snider is the one lying down in the front.  This photo is from my grandfather's photo album.  Although my great-grandfather served in this war, I do not believe he ever made it to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manila" class="extiw" title="en:Manila">en:Manila</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippines" class="extiw" title="en:Philippines">en:Philippines</a>, where the other two photos I've posted were taken. <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/image:Manila639_1899.jpg" class="extiw" title="en:image:Manila639 1899.jpg">Manila639.jpg</a></i>    <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/image:Manila646_1899.jpg" class="extiw" title="en:image:Manila646 1899.jpg">Manila646.jpg</a></i>
