The “San Pedro Bell”, a campana, displayed at the Most Holy
Trinity Chapel at the United States Military Academy at West Point. It was
taken from the Church of Saints Peter and Paul, founded in 1587 in Bauang,
La Union, Republic of the Philippines, during the Philippine American War
and sent to West Point in 1915 by Thomas Barry, the 27th Superintendent.
Like the bell from the U.S. Naval Academy returned to Japan, the San Pedro
Bell was returned by West Point to its church in La Union by the U.S.
Military Academy. Its history is almost identical to the two campana in
Wyoming. From the essay, page 45
