Description: Top images show peasants and guerrillas gathered on the side of a peasant house; in the foreground of Frames 9-10 is an unidentified man, possibly a foreign journalist, wearing an elegant linen suit (with cigarette in fingers). Frames 17-19 show a guerrilla wearing a "mambí-style" hat, cleaning his rifle. Frames 21-27 depict an unidentified, overweight journalist, probably foreign, interviewing peasant recruits to the guerrilla cause. Frame 23 shows Manzanillo's chief courier, Felipe Guerra Matos, with a moustache and broken leg in cast. This picture and subsequent images were probably shot at a rebel field hospital. In frames 24-37, Haydee Santamaría and Celia Sánchez sit disposing of dirty, used cotton bandages by burning them. Folder contains two duplicate contact sheets; see also Prints 51, 53, 61 and 66.
