Battle of Paye - Aftermath

Aftermath

Before his death, Lawton had written in a formal correspondence, "Taking into account the disadvantages they have to fight against in terms of arms, equipment and military discipline, without artillery, short of ammunition, powder inferior, shells reloaded until they are defective, they are the bravest men I have ever seen..."

The Filipinos rejoiced as their enemy retreated. It was their first victory. The Morong Command also had victory in other battles against the Americans. The riflemen who fought in the battle included Colonel Maximo Abad, who later led Philippine forces to victory in the Battle of Pulang Lupa.

Lawton's command suffered around 14 killed,including himself and 15 wounded.
