This is a photo of Commander Bernabe Rodriguez Meneses (born June 11, 1852, died January 1st, 1942). He served in the Trinidad Mounted Infantry, 4th Corps, 1st Division, 3rd Brigade, of the Cuban Liberation Army / Ejercito Libertador Cubano. May He Rest In Peace / En Paz Descanse. (the photo is courtesy of Mrs. I. Lee, grand daughter).
I'd like to Thank Mrs Lee (cousin) for the information about him.. He is also my grandfather, but as being half Cuban and half American and not speaking the spanish language.. I didn't have all the information that she provided for us.. God Bless I. Lee and thank you! Love, Nina
ReplyDeleteNina, thank you for your comment. I am very honored to have placed his photo on the Blog and thank Mrs. I. Lee for bringing it to my attention. The memories of our brave "Mambi" soldier's should never be forgotten or their sacrifices.
