James Zobel, our good friend at The MacArthur Memorial placed this image into circulation recently via Facebook. It is known there as "RG135, Norman Collection, MacArthur Memorial." Snappy little title, that. You might have missed seeing the image if you are not into FB,so I felt I should give it a permalink, as I think it is one of the most magnificent documentary images I have seen of Corregidor for ages.

I sure hope it prompts some discussion, as things have been too quiet by half around here lately.

Discussion on FB involved where exactly it had been taken, and when. Tony Feredo suggested that it was most likely taken from the North Shore Road just off CR-73 or at the 75mm gun shed. I think Tony's right. As for when it was taken, let me opine that it was before the 75mm gun shed was built.

I take it that this gun shed would be just above the engineering power plant on the road to Battery James? I note the large mounds of something for construction purposes, so would guess this to be in the 1920s or so?

JackJensen: I came across my father's name - Capt. Paul Jensen - who was with the CIC, on the forum. I'm hoping to find more, though it appears that his area - Sicily, North Africa - was not the focus of the board. So, I'm not sure how much I can contribute. Jan 6, 2024 20:44:06 GMT 8
