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.
