I don’t have the official image description. But it is safe to assume that we see Paratroopers from the 503d PIR patrolling thru the battery in Feb. 1945 after they jumped onto Corregidor, to liberate it, on the 16th Feb. 1945. In the distance, left, we see a machinegun Tower, it is located, looking from the photographer’s location, left and east of Battery Crockett.

Zd154. Flickr 031. Rg111 box 543026. This is a very rare picture of some of the Malinta Hill west side on Corregidor Island showing the Navy Tunnels. It is a captured photo, found in the Japanese side and we can assume it is from 1942. It shows the entrance of three of the Navy 5 tunnel entrances in Malinta Hill. All these three entrances are buried now from landslides. Two more Navy Tunnel entrances are further to the right in a ravine, not too far, and are accessible now; one is difficult to get into now though. I believe we have this picture, or a very similar one, already somewhere in the Corregidor Forum, click here:
