Zc972. The book cover of Lapham’s Raiders by Robert Lapham and Bernard Norling.
I got the book, it is good reading he describes how it was and how his guerrillas made do. I got interested and visited Umingan, the area of his Head Quarters. The book cover picture sure reminds me of the Villa Verde Trail, the section I call: The Middle Section.

This photo was shot on the 4th Oct. 2007 and the marker is located on the Bataan side of the Pampanga Welcome Arch (maybe 40 meter from it) over the Gapan-Olongapo Highway which was also the Death March Route at this area. This picture shows clearly the relative position of marker to the massive Shriner’s Monument.

Zc963. Bataan and Democracy Historical Marker. This time we are looking in the Olongapo direction. This photo was shot on the 4th Oct. 2007 and the marker is located on the Bataan side of the Pampanga Welcome Arch (maybe 40 meter from it) over the Gapan-Olongapo Highway which was also the Death March Route at this area. The bridge over the creek Prado is another landmark for the marker’s location. Notice the massive Shriner’s Monument at right and the Bataan and Democracy Historical Marker is to the right of that and is set further back.
