I had always thought that there must have been casualties that were never recovered. Can anyone decipher those map coordinates? They might give a clue as to the general area. I also suspect there are substantially more Japanese remaining on the island however. Buried forever in now unknown locations.

With regard to this whole matter, I have often made inquiries regarding Japanese casualties remaining on the island and have never had any substantive response. I recall many accounts of tunnels etc. being blown and sealed shut with men still inside them. I would presume that some of these tunnels or whatever they were are now buried and lost. I even recall that some of the laterals in Malinta tunnel now buried may also have remains. However, there were of course several major cleanup operations after the war and human remains must have been found during the course of this action. Does anyone have any further information about this?
