1Lt./ Jose Manuel Corrales Montalvan, when he joined the US Army in 1928 as one of the few Philippine Scout Officers. He resigned his commission and joined the Philippine Army in 1936 as required by the Philippine Commonwealth government and was appointed Cadre Commander of Camp Bulua which was later renamed Camp Evangelista and was its Camp Commander until the outbreak of WWII. His younger brother, Captain Antonio Montalvan was among the Guerrilla's executed by the Japanese along with Senator Jose Ozamis and the eldest sons of the Elizalde's and Roces' family in the old Chinese cemetery. Their remains along with 25 other unknown victims were later transferred and interred in the Manila North Cemetery. Attachments:

that is an interesting observation Indiosbravos, Lt. Montalvan was a dentist. I can only distinguish his patch and the scout hat.

Anything going on with PS re-enactments in the Philippines this Bataan Day? Who's the point of contact with the PS reenactors in Ft. Stotsenberg? Frank
