Zf236. Lorcha Dock is still in place. It is famous because Gen MacArthur and his companions left here with the PT boats and broke thru the Japanese lines. A stature is here of the Gen, not on this picture. This is one of 5 images shot from right to left at this location.

Zf350. Just before one reaches the former Aviary building is this, what we call now a shortcut down from Middleside. On this visit it was still usable. I used it a couple of times on this visit. It is concreted that means it was already a walking path during the Army Fort Mills period.

Zf349

Zf349. I made a ride turn and look now north at the east edge of the Middleside Parade Ground. Ahead is the office and residence of the former Aviary. The Aviary on Corregidor was big and nice but died for economic reasons. Then, that building was used for other purposes.

Zf348. We have reached the Middleside plateau; it has at least big tree now in the field and the trees on the west end of the field also have become big. Corregidor Foundation is now unable to cut the grass in this Middleside Parade Ground, before they did but now it looks wild. In this […]

Zf345. We have reached the Middleside plateau; I consider this area a parade and exercise place. Before the war it certainly was used for the horses, they were in stalls south and next to this field. In 1998 this place was used for a Youth for Pease Camp in connection of the Philippine Centennial Celebration. […]

Zf344. I just walked past the entrance of the road leading to the Stockade level on Corregidor Island.

Zf243

Zf343. This is a shortcut to the Stockade level, the Stockade level was the first plateau of the west end of Corregidor, it is located left or south of the road going to Middleside and Topside. This is where the Spanish Fort is located. Before the war it housed Filipino prisoners of the Philippine penal […]

Zf342. This is right next to the War memorial Gate, left side and is the beginning of the Corregidor South Road but as you can see it is now completely grown over. In the past it was kept clear of this entire weed and it was nice walk to go this way.
