Helen,
Co H 2 US Vol. Inf., 1898 refers to the 2nd United States Volunteer Infantry, Company H.
This was a national volunteer regiment (as opposed to a state volunteer regiment or the standing regular army regiment).
The regiment was an "immune" regiment, or a regiment made up of men mistakenly thought to be immune to tropical disease. The regiment served in Cuba as part of the occupation force.
