Mr. Sixto Guerra
Ibaan, Batangas
Philippines
Dear Mr. Guerra:
The Commanding General has directed that you be informed that the Guerra Company, Ibaan Regiment, Fil-American Batangas Guerrillas, a guerrilla unit under your nominal control, recognized by letter Headquarters Sixth Army, dated 6 June 1945, has not been favorably considered for revision of its present recognition date.
A thorough and detailed examination of all supporting papers submitted by your unit, together with a careful analysis of all other available information of the military activities of your unit from its inception, scrutinized in relation to the overall resistance movement, has failed to justify sufficiently the establishment of a date of recognition other than that presently published.
This letter constitutes the final determination of and action upon the period of official recognition of the Guerra Company, Ibaan Regiment, Fil-American Batangas Guerrillas.
Sincerely,
THOMAS J. BROWN
