This medal was awarded to Enrique Vazquez Torrado for his
participation in the Battle of Santiago.
This medal was issued in about 1923 or 1924 (possibly for the 25th
anniversary of the battle). It is not clear at present what role Enrique
Vazquez Torrado played in the action.
The bar reads "Santiago De Cuba/3 De Julio De 1898" or Santiago
Cuba/July 3, 1898." The back reads "Cavite/Santiago De Cuba/1898"
It is assumed that this medal was issued by the Spanish government to
veterans of the Battle of Santiago.
