On this day a century ago a battle raged between 60 Filipino soldiers headed by General Gregorio del Pilar and 300 Americans under Major Peyton C. March at a mountain pass 4,441 feet above sea level in the highlands of lIocos Sur. Gen. del Pilar, then aged 24, was one of the youngest generals in the revolutionary army. He was the commander of General Emilio Aguinaldo's rear guard. With the American forces close behind him, Gen. Aguinaldo desperately needed to delay the enemy's advance so he could escape and continue keep alive the struggle for Philippine independence.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.philippine-trivia.com/History/Battle-of-Tirad-Pass.html"><DIV title="" class="jwts_tabbertab "><H2><A name="advtab" href="javascript:alert('This link contains javascript.
