Ze743. USMC Officer and former Enlisted Man Earl Hancock “Pete” Ellis on horseback in 1902. He believed in taking pictures and they eventually ended up in the USMS Archives. Thank you , Sir, and your descendants.
Ze742. GENERAL HOLLAND M. SMITH, U.S.M.C. From a painting by Commander Albert K. Murray, U.S.N.R. and this URL: Autobiography of General Holland “Howling Mad” Smith.
Ze741. This is a Google Earth Image of Macmany Point in Subic Bay and marked the possible location of Battery “Hell Hill” in Subic Bay. I suspect the guns were installed at a place on the ridge or perhaps nearby there.
Ze739. There were more than 2 guns on “Hell Hill” in Subic Bay. Zoomed in we can see at least one other gun. Notice the tent and it seems wooden barrels are used to fortify a position, perhaps a magazine or bunker.
Ze738. The “Hell Hill” picture zoomed in! The rock at right must be Shark’s Point; look at the map. Notice that at least one underground magazine or bunker existed there.
Ze737. This is a captured image of Google Earth showing the general Area of Macmany Point. Grande Island helps us to better understand where this point is.
Ze734. A banca is passing Star Point in 1909; I have a feeling Star Point is today Kalaklan Point, the rocks at right seem to match. This is an Earl Hancock “Pete” Ellis picture from the U.S.M.C. Archives.
