Zc416. This is perhaps Al McGrew’s MG Position at Middleside Fort Mills on Corregidor Island.

Was Al’s MG position here, did I interpreted your input correctly? So Al was guarding the rear, the inland side, of his battery? Did you check out his position and was there anything left?

Because of the SW Monsoons it is very calm at this side. There were SW ocean swell rolling in on the other side.

There were only two flags flying this day on Corregidor, the Philippine Flag in front of the CFI Admin Building at Bottomside and the U. S. Flag at the First Flag of Liberation of the 16th Feb. 1945. On my two day visit all the other flags were not hoisted, like at the Pacific War Memorial.

Not visible, at right is another row-house like structure where the CFI personnel and others are quartered. I believe, under the new CFI management all have to pay some rental fee now.
