Description: Rebel forward post over Santiago; this one near La Lata, then Cdte. Juan Almeida Bosque's column command post. It is commanded by Capt. Rigoberto Ramirez (officer shown in hammock in frames 28-29) and its principal function was that of a bombshop and demolition training post, one of several maintained by the rebels in the Sierra. Most of the frames show Capt. Ramirez with his favorite devices: pipebombs, home-crafted road mines, etc. Top three left frames show guerrilla hammocks slung in an abandoned back-country cockpit. Boy is local mascot.
