BUNYESeventy-five years ago last week, (January 9, 1945) Allied forces landed in Lingayen Gulf in the second major land offensive to reclaim the Philippines from Japanese occupation forces. Some excerpts from the book:“Lingayen Gulf became a strategic theater of operations during World War II for both the Japanese forces and the Allied Forces. On January 6, 1945, US ships commanded by Admiral Jesse Oldendorf started bombarding suspected Japanese positions along the beaches of Lingayen Gulf. Before long, Allied troops were knocking at the gates of Manila.”Note: You may wish to share the foregoing via Facebook, Twitter or Linked-In.
