Leyte, Philippines 1944 - Evacuation

1 November
"Nearly 2,000 Filipino evacuees came into the American lines following the invasion of Leyte Island in the Philippines. Some had not eaten for two or three days and were in a bad condition. They said that the Japanese had taken their food and in some instances their clothing. Ample supplies of food were made available to the evacuees as soon as they reached American lines."

" An old man too weak to walk is carried to the American lines by a younger comrade."

"The evacuees were promptly supplied with food which was more than ample for their immediate requirements."

"The evacuees after receiving food express their appreciation to be living again under the United States Stars and Stripes flag."

"One of the Filipino women accepts a tin of lime juice while her child crunches an Army biscuit."

"One of the evacuee children enjoys a drink handed to him by an American soldier."
