Private First Class
19th Infantry 24th Division
U.S. Awards: Purple Heart Medal
Monument: Fort William Mckinley, Manila, Philippines
From Wikipedia "The Commonwealth of the Philippines was invaded by the Empire of Japan in December 1941 shortly after Japan's declaration of war upon the United States of America, which controlled the Philippines at the time and possessed important military bases there. The combined American-Filipino army was defeated by April 1942, but guerrilla resistance against the Japanese continued throughout the war.
Uncaptured Filipino army units, a communist insurgency and supporting American agents all played a role in the resistance. Due to the huge number of islands, the Japanese did not occupy them all. Japanese control over the countryside and smaller towns was often tenuous at best.
Allied forces liberated the islands from Japanese control in 1944, in a naval invasion."
