Kansas National Guard in the Spanish-American War




	SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR 1898-1899 Four regiments of Kansas Volunteers entered into federal service totaling 4,000 men. The Twentieth Kansas served heroically in the Philippine Islands under COL Frederick Funston. Funston remained in the Philippines and effected the capture of the rebel leader with the aid of other officers and some natives. This act hastened an end to the hostilities. Although hostilities ended prior to their arrival and the 3D performed only occupational duties, they were recognized for their efficiency and discipline.
