| The
original tabulations have D/2nd CA (PS) manning this Battery, which is
in error. B/91st CA (PS)
manned one pit of Battery Koehler. Later, after the 155 mm GPF guns of Battery Frank
North were destroyed, the Scouts of F/92nd manned the second pit. D/2nd
CA (PA) did not man this battery., and their personnel were used as ammo carriers,
laborers, and gophers for the two Philippine Scouts batteries on the fort. |

FORT WINT, Grande I.
|
Ft. Wint was used as a training base for the Philippine Army Scouts from the 91st
and A and D/92d CA (PS) and C/91st CA (PS) helped train the Filipinos. Only two
batteries were manned full time: Cebu (C/91st) and Subic (D/92d).
However, the other batteries were used for training. Batteries D, E and F were not on the
Fort. They were being trained on Ft. Mills. The Philippine Army personnel on the Fort were
organized into the 2d CA (PA). |

Exhibit "C" of the Wainwright Papers
contains some misconceptions and errors. Most involve the 1st and 2d
Philippine Army Coast Artillery regiments. The following is an attempt to clarify this
situation.
1. Two Philippine
Coast Artillery regiments were formed: the 1st Coast Artillery
Philippine Army (1st CA (PA)) and the 2d .Coast Artillery Philippine Army
(1st CA (PA)). The 1st was trained by 91st
CA (PS) and 92d CA (PS) personnel on Ft. Mills. The 2d was trained by 91st
CA (PS) and 92d CA (PS) personnel on Ft. Wint. Neither of the Philippine Coast Artillery
regiments was capable of operating independently.
2. All gun batteries on the
Coast Artillery forts were the responsibility of the four American Coast Artillery
regiments: 59th, 60th, 91st, and 92d. Except
for the 2d CA (PA), on Bataan, all Philippine Army Coast Artillery batteries
were assigned to either the 91st or 92d. They either provided
personnel to man gun batteries, under the control of American Officers, or were used as
laborers and gophers by the 91st and 92d. None of these batteries
operated independently, as a unit of the Philippine Army Coast Artillery. Although each of
these batteries had a Filipino commanding officer, they were not the commanding officer of
the gun batteries they manned. The Commanding officers were always American officers.
