I will put pictures here that are for the forum or other purpose only

Zo622

Zo622. There was a bridge to cross, over a side ravine, to reach the Philippine Government Vault. During the TWO BATTLES OF CORREGIDOR, 1942 and 1945 the bridge got destroyed.

Zo621

Zo621. A cropped section of the 1936 Fort Mills map on Corregidor Island showing the Insular Government Reservation. We post war visitors just called it the Government Ravine.

Zo624. This is the gate to Philippine Insular Government Vault in Fort Mills, on Corregidor Island before the war. My friend fots2 is another great contributor to the Corregidor forum and provided this picture which is also posted in the above URL which I repeat here:

Zo616a

Zo616. This the Corregidor map from a bigger 1:50000 Bataan map. Sgt. Berger shot many of his 1945 pics from the Corregidor Lighthouse and many at Bottomside. Some landmarks and descriptions have been added.

Zo620

Zo620. Another view of the so-called “Mile Long Barracks” from the Corregidor Lighthouse. Bataan is in back, left is Mariveles and right is the volcano Mt. Mariveles.

Zo619

Zo619. Two Japanese POWs are entering the west entrance of the Main Malinta Hill Tunnel. This must be at the end of 1945 and it looks like they made good progress cleaning up the tunnel.

Zo613

Zo613. This is Sgt. Russel A. Berger who shot or collected these pictures; his daughter made them available in the above URL.

Zo612

Zo612. This picture is called “Tailend” but I think, it cannot be the Corregidor Tailend. It looks to me like the east end of Caballo Island, the former Fort Hughes. This would be a view south from the Corregidor Island Tailend.

Zo611

Zo611. This is a great picture of the west entrances of the Malinta Hill Tunnel. Besides the Malinta Tunnel west entrance, the right one, to the left is a smaller entrance on the same level. That entrance leads to the fuel tank lateral tunnels. That one is also still open today.

Zo610

Zo610. This is Corregidor South-dock. During the 1942 Siege it was mainly used by the Navy.
