External Part
Of Island Burned

The whole external part of the
island had been burned TO a
charred mass of ruin.
was assigned to a unit. called
for code purpos Battery
James" which faced Bataan at a
distance of about $500 yards
directly across from the north.
1t was one of the toughest spots
on Corregidor because it was
directly in the line of fire of the
artillery which the Japs had
heavily spotted throughout the
Bataan Peninsula.
There were no tunnels and no
foxholes.
What underground cover there
had been had completely diSap-
peared under the continuous ar
tillery onslaughts.
Battery James received three
direct hits in one big dugout dur
ing the first week that / was on
Corregidor and 43 men were
killed.
We lost an average of two men
daily from that one position. not
counting the scores who were
wounded by augmentation bombs
and shells.
The Japs had us spotted and
there wasn't much doubt about
that.
Their uncanny precision for hit
ting us at our most vulnerable
times and points was almost eerie.
