Raynor documenting his experiences in the Philippines during the Philippine-American War (1899-1902), which was waged between the United States and the First Philippine Republic after the Philippines was annexed at the conclusion of the Spanish American War in 1898. The photographs are a mixture of personal snapshots and commercially-produced images, and several have handwritten captions. The album begins with scenes of Fort Logan, Colorado, in 1899, where Raynor was stationed, showing officer's quarters and presumably his wife and small children. The remainder of the album is set in the Philippines and subjects include: Raynor and other members of the 25th Infantry; war carnage; native Filipinos at work and with families; homes; and buildings in Corregidor, Luzon, Manila and elsewhere. Other photographs include "Decoration Day" at Corregidor and a cyanotype of patients in a hospital ward in Iloilo.
