| Contextual Notes | After the Spanish-American War ended, in early 1899, discharged veterans sought to form fraternal organizations. In 1904, the three largest groups, the Spanish War Veterans, the Spanish American War Veterans and the Servicemen of the Spanish War amalgamated into the United Spanish War Veterans. They would become the largest and most influential of the Spanish-American War societies. The United Spanish War Veterans consisted of veterans of three distinct wars: Spanish-American War, April 1898 to February 1899; Philippine–American War, February 1899 to July 1902; and the Chinese Relief Expedition, 1900 to 1901. The objectives of this society were among others: to unite in fraternal bonds those who served during the War with Spain or the campaigns growing out of that war; to honor the dead; and to assist former comrades and their families.
A Department of United Spanish War Veterans was usually divided into several local camps which reported to the Department and met annually in an encampment.
