I have obtained a copy of a portion of the mimeographed records of the 3d Bn, 34th Infantry Regiment, 24th Infantry Division that was involved in the retaking and holding of Malinta Hill. I intend to republish it in full on the Rock Force Website, so as to bring it into the public domain. It is in many respects a treasure of information which cannot be lost.
Although not a 503d document, I intend to include it as part of Bless 'em All - Corregidor (Vol III), because the story of what occurred on Malinta Hill is a critical part of the Corregidor 1945 story. Not to know what occurred on Malinta Hill leaves a significant hole in understanding the retaking.
I seek a volunteer to convert the document into Word format so that I can quickly produce it on the website, but just don't have time. I am fully booked for at least another year with current projects.
The document also has several hand-drawn maps, which could ideally be overlined in black to make the lines high contrast so that I can reproduce them - they are critical to the explanations contained.
The document to be reproduced runs approx 30 pages, double-spaced. I have scanned it at 200dpi, which should be more than adequate to print and transcribe. I will provide the link to the volunteer.
