Another Military Memorial...

Cabanatuan philippines

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raid_at_Cabanatuan

Cabanatuan is in Central Luzon. It is on the eastern fringe of the plain, at the foothills of the Sierra Madre mountains.

The site of the prison camp is now a memorial. You can still see the vague outlines of the camp, from the air.

We met Angelese City, another glourious sunny day!

On arrival we were met by an American Embassy official from Manila (Bert) who gave us the history of the Prison Camp, and the treatment by Japanese.

We said our prayers and signed the Condolence Book.

We then returned home the scenic route!
