Letter Informing Tuy-FAIT of Non-Recognition by the US Army, April 1947

Batangas History

7 Jan, 2018

The Fil-American Irregular Troops, otherwise known simply as FAIT, was founded by the retired US Army Colonel Hugh Straughn and was made up of US Army soldiers and Filipinos who refused to surrender to the Japanese in 1942. Although primarily operating in Rizal Province, the guerrilla outfit also operated in Batangas, including the town of Tuy. In this 1947 document¹, Assistant Adjutant General Thomas J. Brown informed Vicente Atienza, Tuy-FAIT representative, that the unit was not favorably considered for recognition by the United States Army.
