fso301: "Manila was the wintertime capitol of the Philippines while mile high Baguio served as the summertime capitol."

Baguio -- there's a name my Dad used to talk about, by his telling, it was his unit's and his personal most serious trial by fire.

But, let's not get too far ahead of our (his)story... ;-)

My father's division also had a rough time on Luzon. He didn't make it that far himself, as his war ended on Leyte.
