The Balangiga Signal Bell in Korea.
An “esquila” or “campana de vuelo” that is now in a U. S. Army museum in Korea. It is the
signal bell removed from the ashes of the belfry and given by the 11th Infantry to the 9th Infantry,
the “Manchus”.
From the Essay page 21
The bells were held at the 11th Infantry base at Tacloban, now renamed Camp Bumpus, on a site protective storage of the 11th Infantry’s quartermaster, Captain Robert Alexander. Think of a scrap yard with the residue of war. Just a few months later before their departure for home, the signal bell was given to the 9th Infantry at their headquarters at Calbayog. Folklore that it was given to them by the remaining villagers of Balangiga is just that, folklore.
