two heroes of the US Commonwealth of the Philippines. The first Filipino to die against the Germans in France, Private Tomas Claudio. 🤔 "In June 1918, Claudio was in the trenches in Oise, northern France. He went over the top on 28 June 1918, fought hand to hand with German soldiers and was bayonetted several times. He was evacuated to Field Hospital in the rear, but died of his wounds. He was buried in a US military cemetery. " ---- Another Hero Another Filipino who fought and died in France was Pvt. Andres P. Dadizon (?-1918), from the southern Philippine island of Biliran. He had gone to the United States to work and had enlisted in the US Army to fight in France. He fought on the frontlines and reputedly carried the US FLAG to German lines before being killed in action on 31 July 1918. 🫡 A statue in his honor was erected in Leyte, close to his home town." - Dr Ricardo Jose Foremost Philippine Historian.
