Interesting article. It's a personal perspective. There were atrocities but maybe this soldier did not participated therein. There may or will always be a few different ones from the general population.

I read some internet articles regarding Chick Parsons. I am admiring his character.

The pics with the revetments could be the Bataan Field near the Cabcaben field. The Bataan Field was described to have revetments, roads, quarters and the ravine. Your pics, Dmether, got me drooling for a while.

I found the large chunk of shrapnel south of .50 caliber tracer slug about where I was standing when you took that picture while you were following me. The smaller one was on the northwest. We had little time to cover a lot of areas. I believe there's more to be found even in the waters.

Mabuti naman, Conrad. The heel iron was within 5 meters from the cliff. I also have read somewhere that there was a grave for the japs who died on Longos Kawayan. I'm still thinking where could it be. The Phantom...I think Bataan was formed by two large volcanoes, Natib and Mariveles. However the edge on Longos Kawayan(Pic LONG05) doesn't seem to be solid dark to be a lava finger or its color and texture have changed thru the course of time. I'm no geologist. Give me a heads up, Karl. Maybe I can join you, guys.

Some more of the artifacts: A horseshoe or a part of a boot sole. It has some spikes on it. LONG01 by sherwino, on Flickr Buried pottery. LONG02 by sherwino, on Flickr Grommets LONG03 by sherwino, on Flickr Vic tries the metal detector. Looking NE. LONG04 by sherwino, on Flickr The American assault boats could have positioned themselves behind this islet. LONG05 by sherwino, on Flickr We also found very little casings about half an inch long and a few millimeters in diameter. Don't know what are they for, could be for incendiary. I find them too little for bullets. I forgot to took pictures but Vic has them and some chunks of shrapnel.

I didn't know before that there are WWII stuff in Cebu. I should wander more if I'm going back there. I remember that I had an offer to purchase WWII dogtags for PHP50.00 each last year in Cebu. It sounded too good to be true. I had plans to check them out personally but the guy did not get back at me, probably I was beaten to it.
