Prince Morihiro Higashikuni inspecting a 12-inch M1890 seacoast mortar (Mortar No. 4) of Battery Way, Fort Mills, Corregidor Island. The dent on the right side of the tube was caused by a Japanese 24cm shell during the siege. Prince Morihiro was a Captain of an artillery unit when he was assigned in the Philippines. He may have re-joined his original unit, the 1st Heavy Artillery Regiment that was armed with the 24cm Type 45 and Type 96 Howitzers that laid siege to the harbor defenses of Manila Bay. The next photo is the same mortar taken in recent times. (with the dent encircled) Cheers, B-boy "What an outstanding pair of Then and Now images, thank you for posting, Battery-Boy! - Registrar"

From the top of my head - The two (2) Type 4 Ho-Ros were under the Sumi Independent SP Company (Capt. Sumi) and fought at Clark together with elements of the IJA 2nd Tank Division and another independent company, the Iwashita Group that had around eight or ten late model Type 97 Chi-Has. The Japanese reports the loss of all the vehicles in this engagement with the surviving crews retreating to the hills of Clark (or Bamban) with the remains of their supporting infantry,

If one of the parent is a natural born citizen of the said country, then the child can actually carry the citizenship of both the mother and the father (dual citizen) depending on the citizen laws of the country (Philippine allows for dual citizenship). For those born inside US bases, (considered to be US territories), the child can be a US citizen as long as one of the parents is a US citizen. I don't know if they changed the laws nowadays.
