English: Philippine historical marker for Battle of Balete Pass. Scene of the battle between the Americans and Japanese for the control of the Cagayan Valley, 21 Feb. - May 1945. Combined forces of the US 25th Division, members of the Pilipino Luzon guerrillas (LGAF) under the command of Col. Robert Lapham, and the COWHM, engaged factions of the Japanese army led by General Tomoyuki Yamashita. Remnants of the Japanese army had retreated into the central Cordillera. An American patrol arrived at Balete Pass on 9 May 1945. The pass was declared open by allied forces on 13 May 1945. The pass is named Dalton in honor of Brig. Gen. James L. Dalton II who died from a single sniper on 16 May 1945 while inspecting the Balete Pass battlefield. |
