A group of liberated prisoners of war, comprised of US Army soldiers and American, British and Canadian civilians, on their arrival at Manila in early January, 1900. Note the soldier on the far right, Private Elmer Honnyman of the 1st Nevada Cavalry, is handcuffed and chained, presumably with his guard standing just outside the frame of the photograph. Several of the returning US Army PoWs, like Honnyman, were charged with desertion and later cleared.
