Comments:
Gonzalo C. Gonzales was born on September 27, 1920. He was a member of a small band of former United States Armed Forces in the Philippines (USAFFE) soldiers who mounted a successful raid against the patrolling Japanese troops in Buenavista, Himamaylan, Negros Occidental. This incident inspired the local USAFFE leaders to integrate all guerrilla units into what would eventually become the Seventh Military District.
Sgt Gonzales died on January 7, 2007, at the age of 86. He is now buried in the Rose Lawns Memorial Park, Bacolod, Negros Occidental Province, Western Visayas, Philippines.
