Two photographs of a Spanish-American War military review in the streets of downtown Jacksonville, Florida for the U.S. 7th Army Corps. The parade’s soldiers are shown resting in their formations as crowds line the street or watch from balconies and windows of nearby businesses. One photograph depicts the parade’s start, with officers on horseback leading the way, followed by a marching band.

The United States 7th Army Corps was formed in May 1898. They relocated their headquarters to Jacksonville, where they organized and trained at various camps. The 7th Corps embarked for Cuba in December 1898 and January 1899 to perform occupation duties in Havana Province.
