Corregidor was taken back by the marines who pour gas down the ventilation shafts and set the Japanese on fire.
It was a wonderful gesture to have General Wainwright present on board the Missouri for the signing of the Japanese surrender.
As a young Marine Corporal I visited Corregidor some time in 1971. Amazing tunnels and defenses. Rusted artillery pieces everywhere. I have pictures somewhere but it would take me some time for me to find them.
Irving Strobing survived the Japanese POW camps and was informed after he was freed just how important his last messages from Corregidor had been to the war effort. He died in 1997 at age 77.
