Col. Thomas E .Jansen Military and Personal Correspondence U.S. Occupation of the Philippine islands
Over 130 letters with the vast majority having stamped covers concerning the military career of Colonel Thomas E. Jansen who served during the American colonization of the Philippines. His primary home address is 3 Wolcott Road Winchester, Mass. In one particular letter Colonel Jansen is taken to a remote island in the Philippines by submarine where he is stationed by himself. The letters cover the years 1918 through the 1920’s. Great cancellation marks throughout with good content. This is a rare glimpse from of American control and occupation of the Filipino people and territory. Col. Jansen’s house still stands today as I have included a photo of this gorgeous house.
