Last Sunday, manila's Buhay na Kasaysayan (living history) together with jeep restoration company MDJaun staged a reenactment of the Battle of Manila for the benefit of the HERO foundation. Proceeds went to education programs for Orphans of Philippine Armed Forces members killed in action. This was the first ever WW2 reenactment held in Manila and took place on the old Philippine Constabulary Barracks (Mac Arthur's old HQ) where some of the actual fighting took place. Hope you enjoy the photos!

I'll throw in a few allied pics as well so you can get a bigger picture of the action:

labrador,
Thanks for sharing the pictures. The Pacific theater rarely makes reenacting news and it is a refreshing sight to see. Keep it up!
horrido!
