"stuartwright" writes us from Cagayan De Oro, as follows: "Good Morning All, I am a retired flight Captain, and currently writing books on the Philippines history during World War Two, and now live in Cagayan De Oro, Philippines. I intend to follow the Death March route of Bataan and interested in the massacre at Pantingan River, as this still has so much more investigation needed to uncover exactly what happened. By investigating in depth, I intend to submit my findings to the group and produce a book, reporting the facts, the book being a kindle book with monies to support the upkeep of monuments, and memorials along the road. I hope I will be accepted Kind Regards Capt Stuart Wright." Welcome Stuart!!

Chuck60 joins; he writes
Dear Chuck, you will find a fair amount on this forum concerning the tragedy. My personal belief is that the information released at the time was false, as an honest investigation into the affair would have uncovered some unsavory facts which the United States did not want known. Generally, you can search "SS Corregidor" using the forum search facility or you can google search "SS Corregidor" and "corregidor.org" jointly.
