From Battery Grubbs...........Corregidor Large brass belt buckle. Luther Litchford Carved above the eagle. Battery G59 below.
Probably made from an artillery shell. Carving on the brass is by hand. Want to get this buckle to Luther's family if possible. My guess is he served on Corregidor prior to surrender in 1942. Any help out there?

Tom,
Battery G, 59th CA was assigned at Caballo Island (Fort Hughes) during the siege. It may be possible that they were brought back as POWs to Corregidor after the surrender.
Regards, Tony
