In the Field - Just before the advance on Caloocan, when this picture was made, General McArthur was giving instructions to, then, Colonel Funston, of the Twentieth Kansas, now Brigadier-General, and Lieutenant-Colonel Wallace of the Montanas. In the background are the Kansas trenches.

Trenches at Caloocan - Looking westward from the railroad we get a fine view of a Philippine battlefield; a great open field, then beyond marshes and rivers which greatly hinder the advance of troops. In the foreground is the Utah Artillery and line of Kansas trenches extending to the water overlooking Malabon, which can be seen in the distance. The famous Malabon bridge and cathedral are also shown, as well as the insurgent trenches (marked x) which were only a few hundred feet away.

Caloocan Church - Caloocan, six miles north of Manila, bombarded by guns of the "Charleston" and "Monadnock" and leveled to the ground by fire, was a sorry sight as the Twentieth Kansas regiment advanced. The insurgent dead lay in great numbers for it was here that the Kansans won their great victory. What was a prosperous town was in a few moments wiped out of existence. The church was afterwards used as headquarters.
