Thank you, Judith. This is exactly the kind of information and source material that I particularly appreciate. Pictures are treasures. Seeing the brothers hanged -- the source for that and photographer are additional points of interest. All Black American soldiers occupying the Philippines is a fact that I must look into.

I have several questions a) the date b) thinking of the segregation in the Army until Eleanor got involved c) Why all Black soldiers d) not a noble cause of the USA to tear freedom out the hands of Filipinos and subject them e) I have no doubt about how the Black men were treated, except by their families.
