The Military Order of the Carabao was
organized at Manila, in November, 1900.
Its purpose is to foster a high standard
of military and social duty and to per-
petuate the memory of military service
in the Philippines during the early DAYS
of American occupation
The membership is composed of COM
missioned officers of the regular and
volunteer services who honorabIy served
in the Philippine Islands between Nav
]. 1888 and July 4, 1902, during the DAYS
of the Empire" On the latter date the
civil government took control
Since the date of its organization the
order has steadily grown in numbers and
Importance until at the present time its
membership roll contains nearly two
thousand names.
The order was named for the water
buffalo or carabao, the beast Of burden
Of the Philippines, which was the main
reliance of the American army in trans
porting supplies throughout the islands.
