Lieutenant Colonel Edwin Price Ramsey (May 9, 1917 – March 7, 2013) was a United States Army officer and guerrilla leader during the World War II Japanese occupation of the Philippines.

His older sister, Nadine, became one of the first female United States Mail pilots[3] and ferried fighters and bombers in World War II.

"[2] He had been on the Oklahoma Military Academy polo team and played on the losing side of a polo match in the Philippines the day before Japan attacked Pearl Harbor; the umpire was Major General Jonathan M. Wainwright (who would assume command of the South West Pacific Area after General Douglas MacArthur was evacuated to Australia).

[5] As a first lieutenant during the withdrawal to Corregidor in the Philippines Campaign, he was in command of the 27-man, mostly Filipino G Troop when they encountered the enemy in the village of Morong on the Bataan peninsula on January 16, 1942.

[2] Despite being heavily outnumbered by an infantry force supported by tanks, Ramsey ordered the last cavalry charge in American military history.

[1][5] After the fall of Bataan, Ramsey and Captain Joseph Barker made their way to central Luzon and joined Lieutenant Colonel Claude Thorp, who had been given the task of organizing guerrilla resistance by MacArthur.

[5] The ordeal in the Philippines had taken its toll – he had lost half his weight and was down to only 93 pounds (42 kg) in January 1945 – and he spent nearly a year recovering from malaria, dysentery, and acute malnutrition in the hospital.

Edwin Price Ramsey died of natural causes on March 7, 2013, and was buried with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery on June 28.
