Description: A key rebel rear-area command post: the Seccion del Café (note flag on frames 13-14) under Capt. Ernesto Alona Sabas (shown on phone in frame 12).

Other key personalities are Cdte. Luis "El Guajiro" Crespo (frames 5-6); the seldom-photographed Cdte. Calixto Garcia (frames 28-30): Cdte. Garcia is officer with sombrero and gunbelt standing to left of weapons carrier; and Capt. Waldo Gonzalez Roig (frame 16). Note officer on frame 18 (beret) is one of rebel army's three principal surgeons: unidentified here.
