U.S. Navy Bluejackets during the Battle of Zapote River.

On June 13, 1899, General Lawton's division moved south from Manila in order to capture the Filipino stronghold of Cavite. Reaching the Zapote river, they encountered Filipino entrenchements and engaged its defenders in a fierce fight.

To aid their assaults, American forces called on for support from the US Navy gunboats in Manila Bay, among them being the USS Helena and USS Monadnock. These two ships would provide naval gunfire, while also landing around 90 Bluejackets on shore, to support one of the attacks along the beach shore, as well as provide the army troops with additional supplies and ammunition.

“GOING TO SCHOOL in the navy are these British bluejackets, carrying their school-books past a line-up of planes. They’re learning the technical aspects of gunnery and radio, for service with the fleet’s air arm.” “NAVAL GUNNER, in training at a navy base for service with the British fleet’s important air arm, squints along the barrel of a fast-firing gun used in planes.” - from the Toronto Star, November 18, 1939.  Page 19.
