Zd271. 111-SCA-Album_2968_031. This imge did not have a readable description but is in sequence with all the other Battle of the Villa Verde Trail and 32nd Division combat images.

The LCI (G) is south of Corregidor, just some distance from the mouth of the Government Ravine. I recognize the Bataan Peak of Mt. Mariveles, left and the Mt. Limay Peak, right, on the other side of Corregidor. This action must have been, just before the Paratroop drop on Corregidor and the amphibious landing at the south shore, just right of this picture on the 16th Feb. 1945.
