Were did you dig this obscure info and photos of a parade float in Manila?  I have to hand to you Ray incredible research! if you really look closely at the huge shield on the front corners of the float which seems like the initials PC or could it be PNG, which were the ones sent to France. The Scouts joined in to reinforce the Yanks going over the top at the Marching through history WWI reenactment battle! photos of the Scouts taking on the Hun! ;D pinoyhistory.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=photosreenacting&action=display&thread=897&page=2 |

Thanks Philip, yes it does look like a constabulary float. The photo came from ebay sometime ago. Only recently did i realize the german figure in the middle. Here's yet another neat pic...this time of pre war UST ROTC wearing french helmets painted silver. The general officer reviewing looks like Basilio Valdez.  |
