Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the problems associated with Polish immigrants who served in the US Army during the armed conflict in Cuba in 1898. Due to the current state of research, we can only roughly estimate the number of Poles involved in the Spanish-American war. A variety of articles concerning the subject appeared in the contemporary Polish press, based on which attempts were made to outline the general circumstances behind Polish recruitment into the US Army as well as other issues related to, inter alia, military careers, military pastoral care and collective memory of the war
