Ze823. Parade and inspection in Subic Bay, circa 1909, what else is new in the Corps? This inspection is called Heavy Marching Order. Several things I consider unique in this picture. The road should be the present George Dewey Ave. and leads right to the Spanish Gate which is hard to make out. Behind the Spanish Gate, in the Navy Yard, stands the uniquely roofed and 2 stories Naval Station Administration Building (shown clearly in other albums here). The low building at right is part what I call the Clover Leave HQ Building (the name is my speculation). Left is one of 2 buildings; I call the 2 Utility Buildings. This picture is from the Earl Hancock “Pete” Ellis Picture Collection in the U.S.M.C. Archives.

Ze818a. This is a zoomed -in copy of the last image Ze818. U.S. Marines patrolling, hiking in the Naval Reservation around the Olongapo Naval Station circa 1909. By the description we can identify this location; this swimming event is at the mouth of the Kalaklan River. We have established that the Star Point, then is now the Kalaklan Point. If you zoom this picture you can see the bridge over the river. This picture came from the Earl Hancock “Pete” Ellis Picture Collection in the U.S.M.C. Archives.

Ze821. This is a copy of the image Ze820, cropped and zoomed in. U.S. Marines patrolling, hiking in the Naval Reservation around the Olongapo Naval Station circa 1909. The ups and downs of a Marine patrol, hike in the Rain Forests of Subic Bay. It seems the patrol is walking past a fortification of some kind, or maybe I’m seeing things.

This picture came from the Earl Hancock “Pete” Ellis Picture Collection in the U.S.M.C. Archives.
