The battle site, located some 10 kilometers from the city proper, was the last bastion of the Japanese Army in the province. Barangay Bacsil was reclaimed on March 21,1945, and then the town of San Fernando was liberated three days later. A symbolical marker and a monument were built to honor the heroes of the war.
