Hey Vic....I can't get enough of this latest stuff that you have "blessed" us with. Combining the Volume Map, the "hand drawn" sketch map, and the aerial shot from Google, makes it so easy for these old eyeballs of mine to orient myself to the actual field of action. "You the man" as they would say "on the street". Again, I say, thanks a bunch and keep it up. Cheers.

Thank you Okla. Hoping to add more "boots on the ground" photos. I'm hoping the weather cooperates!

Again, a superb presentation by Victor! It is these small aspects of history that I too find so interesting. It is so hard to get a feel of what these areas looked like 70 years ago. Towns have changed so much. I also wonder if a search with a good metal detector might reveal something or if there are any locals still alive that may have some recollection My wife's family comes from near by these areas ( Rosales, Santa Maria etc. ), and although my mother in law still has some memories, all the rest of the older generation who were present have passed away.

Thanks!
I'm not sure if any local would remember the Binalonan battle at all... from what I gather, the locals had fled before the upcoming battle. The description was that the town was deserted. There might be some old timers who might remember the occupation and liberation.
The pedicab operator did say that during the construction of the Iglesia ni Cristo church not too far away from the intersection, the construction crews dug up relics and ordnance. I'm sure a metal detector would find relics all over the place. (but people will mistake you for a Yamashita gold treasure hunter haha)
