Zo624. This is the gate to Philippine Insular Government Vault in Fort Mills, on Corregidor Island before the war. My friend fots2 is another great contributor to the Corregidor forum and provided this picture which is also posted in the above URL which I repeat here:

Zo616. This the Corregidor map from a bigger 1:50000 Bataan map. Sgt. Berger shot many of his 1945 pics from the Corregidor Lighthouse and many at Bottomside. Some landmarks and descriptions have been added.

Zo620. Another view of the so-called “Mile Long Barracks” from the Corregidor Lighthouse. Bataan is in back, left is Mariveles and right is the volcano Mt. Mariveles.

Zo619

Zo619. Two Japanese POWs are entering the west entrance of the Main Malinta Hill Tunnel. This must be at the end of 1945 and it looks like they made good progress cleaning up the tunnel.

Zo613. This is Sgt. Russel A. Berger who shot or collected these pictures; his daughter made them available in the above URL.

Zo612

Zo612. This picture is called “Tailend” but I think, it cannot be the Corregidor Tailend. It looks to me like the east end of Caballo Island, the former Fort Hughes. This would be a view south from the Corregidor Island Tailend.

Zo611

Zo611. This is a great picture of the west entrances of the Malinta Hill Tunnel. Besides the Malinta Tunnel west entrance, the right one, to the left is a smaller entrance on the same level. That entrance leads to the fuel tank lateral tunnels. That one is also still open today.
