Can anyone tell anything about this photo? What Battery is it.
I'm making a few assumptions (wrong or right?)
1. The location is Corregidor 2. The men in the picture are troopers of the 503rd PRCT
 reply from BATTERYBOY added by Registrar on 2 May 2015This not Corregidor but located in Lingayen area (Rosario IIRC), Northern Luzon. The artillery in the photo is a Japanese Type 7 30.5cm Howitzer and the men are from the 158th Regiment who captured it. |

Interesting photo of Topside. In the bottom right quadrant of the picture there is something that looks like a gun barrel/tube.
