Zd201. Flickr 048. SWPA-Sig C-45-13284. 6th March 1945. South mine dock, south shore Bottomside on Corregidor Island, P.I. Photographer: T/5 Kingsley Fall. During the Siege of Corregidor, it was mainly used by the Navy. Right, we see the Corregidor Breakwater Point and the Army made their amphibious assault, just right of this pier, on the 16th Feb. 1945 and called the landing site: “Black Beach”.

Zd200. Flickr 047. This is the Fort Mills Hospital on Corregidor Island, P.I. We don’t have the description for this image but we Corregidor Friends, know the hospital well. I speculate that the picture was shot on the 6th of March 1945, like many other pictures of this CDSG Collection. This is the rear of the hospital, on the 2nd floor in the left wing, which is between two other wings was the hospital Galley (Kitchen).

Zd199. Flickr 046. 16th Feb. 1945, 328122. Paratroopers are landing on Corregidor Island, P.I. That is all what the description says. But we Corregidor Friends know what we see. Left is Crockett Ravine. Some paratroopers landed short of their Landing Field “B”, the Fort Mills Golf Course, they landed just under and a little left of Battery Geary. Paratrooper Dick Adams landed there and we showed him around a few years ago. He visited Corregidor again in 2020 for the 75th Anniversary of the Paratrooper assault of Corregidor.
