bagong silangan (battle of san mateo) explore

many years ago i was reading a historical trivia about a renowned american general, henry ware lawton, who was killed in action during the fil-am war of 1899, the first and only time this ever happened. i've always wanted to see the place where this historical battle happened. after a continuous research , to my surprise, i recently found out that i have been to this place and is only fair distance away. so i ventured back to this place and found the monuments commemorating this battle . this is the actual place where the battle happened. lawton's battalion was on the opposite side of the river while the forces of geronimo is where i am standing . from this angle you could see that lawton's forces were on a vantage position and firing downward to the filipino army. henry lawton stood at 6ft2inches tall, wore a yellow coat and a white tall helmet. he is known to be a proactive commander and command from the front line making him very visible and an easy target for sniper shot at 300 yards away. so from this angle you could imagine how he stood out. he was killed in action with a sniper bullet from this distance
