Zc532. This was a visit in March 2006 with a Coastal Defense Study Group party (cdsg.org). We are inside the Battery Sunset Magazine, in the former Fort Mills on Corregidor. This place is of interest to many because of the many beer and other bottles are lying around. I am bad in remembering names, but at right is armyjunk. This is a 2006 March 6th image.
