american graveyards in phillipines

[chappiepop]

My father, Hudson Phillips, was 11th AB Division Chaplain during the New Guinea and Philippines campaigns. Among many other duties, he supervised the laying out of a military graveyard near Nasugbu, Batangas, on Luzon. I have a WW2 photo of it, identifying it at its entrance gate as "USAF Cemetery #1 Luzon," with the familiar division insignia. Does anyone know whether it still exists, or was incorporated into the present American Cemetery near Manila? I also have a charcoal sketch of the Division chapel he had built, in native style, in New Guinea. Does anyone have additional information on this? His staff, and most soldiers, knew him as "Pop."

At the end of the war all of the US cemeteries in the Philippines were incorporated into the cemetery in Manila, none of the WWII cemeteries exist in the Philippines. I am an American living in the Philippines and have been to the site of some of them.

What about the military cemetery near the former Clark Airbase in Angeles City?

The cemetery on Clark Air Base is still in use, but all the American's killed in WWII are up in the cemetery in Manila (except for a group of GIs executed for capital crimes in WWII, they are in Clark). The cemetery on Clark has burials going back to 1900, it contains Philippine Scouts, family members, and a variety of other individuals. The Clark cemetery is a consolidation of other pre-war cemeteries, including two that were on Ft. Stotsenberg, and one from Ft. McKinley.
