Title: Port Au Prince, Haiti. Revolutionary Leader, General M. Codio, being taken to prison by U.S. Marine Guards, March 1916
Caption: Port Au Prince, Haiti. Revolutionary Leader, General M. Codio, being taken to prison by U.S. Marine Guards to serve fifteen years at hard labor, March 1916. Marines carry M1903 rifles, with M1905 bayonets and scabbards. Courtesy of Carter Rila, 1986. The original postcard photo contained the following penciled note, presumably written by a Marine of the Haiti Occupation Force: "This hombre is the cause of most our trouble. He won't be for awhile now that he is in "durance vile"??). He pleaded to be shot when they were taking him to prison."
