Can anyone tell me what uniform this is/country of origin and time period? Apparently this mans a Spaniard but I have a hard time imagining he fits into the family tree.

Maybe a Prussian supplied uniform from 1903 that was modified? Closest i could find with different cap.
Jayden Collins
I also found the medal on the collar. Seems more like a larp uniform the person put together for a photo, good luck on anyone else to find something on it.
Anthony Clark
Looks similar to a Russo Japanese war navy uniform. I just have no clue about the cross, the Japanese wouldn’t have used that as a medal right?
Ryder Jones
Looks like its from Alfonso xiii era,could very well be a spaniard
its not the same
Samuel Jackson
The area in South Texas I grew up there were a ton of Spaniard men that looked like that. Almost asian/Pacific looking but not quite.
Luis Russell
Googling "Maltese Cross with wreath insignia" led me to a .pdf that described its use by the US Army Hospital Corps as a hat device for Non-Commissioned Officers from 1901-1902, but it doesn't really match the one in your pic and obviously it was worn on the hat, not the collar of the tunic.
I suggest looking up Spanish military insignia from 1870-1930 period to see if anything matches.

I think its this one,old Spanish Military Medicine medal,do you have more photos?
Robert Jackson
Reference
Easton King
Look at the same symbol in the box,this is a medic also from the African war
Jeremiah Clark
Different person but this man is 100% living in Spain in this photo. Think you got it. I guess the original photo subject just had asiatic features. The head wrap confuses me though.
Chase Phillips
I think its the same uniform look
Hudson Harris
Its the army medics
Search "cruz de malta laureada", he could be from "Cuerpo de sanidad de la armada".
And according his facial characteristics and era, he could be a spanish military during the phillipines war, but he must be at least half Asian
Benjamin Hall
Dates 1918 as well
Aaron Cook
yikes to those Spanish creaturas though
William Evans
These soldiers are from the Phillipines war era
Elijah Fisher
>mfw OP got FILIPINO'D
Nicholas Williams
Looks like sum gook trash to me, champ

Eh at most it’s a small percentage, the rest of the family is Gallego through and through. Not that that’s much better.
Camden Martin
Gallegos are based tho
Jayden Rodriguez
>tfw have Galician father and American mother
I don't really know how to feel at times. I mostly identify more with American autism and my dad generally speaks Spanish and doesn't really mind but I feel bad for kinda neglecting his side of my family.
Liam Walker
I’d love to learn gallego for heritage and meme potential reasons, but it’s just shy of impossible outside of Galicia.
Jace Stewart
The hat is similar
