Zg643. This is a US Army project completion report 20th June 1932 of the completion of a Fresh Water Storage Dam in the Calumpang Reservation for Fort Frank; with a picture of the dam.
Battery Ermita drew blood again on March 6 when it shot down a Japanese plane on reconnaissance over the fort. It was also on this day that a Filipino civilian delivered to the fort a Japanese demand for its surrender. The substance of the message according to General Moore was:
Surrender Carabao and save lives, the whole area along coast line of Cavite Providence is now a Japanese Military Reservation, large guns in large numbers are being massed there, Carabao will be reduced by our mighty artillery fire, likewise Drum, after reduction of Drum and Carabao our invincible artillery will pound Corregidor into submission, batter it, weaken it preparatory to a final assault by crack Japanese landing troops. Be wise, surrender now and receive preferential Japanese treatment.
Needless to say this demand for surrender was ignored.
