was retaken in 45 by the 19th regiment and the 11th airborne

I R&R'd in the PI back in 68. Took a day tour out to Corregidor. The boated past Ft Drum and docked for lunch on a beach that the Japs used to shell both places, Drum and Corregidor. While I was sitting in a beach lounge chair, I happen to glance behind me. There about three feet away was an unexploded jap artillery round, looked like 175mm or 8inch. We then went over to Corregidor and was picked up by three 3/4 ton military trucks by the PI army and toured the island, from the airfield to Topside, down to Malinta Tunnel and then back to the dock. Absolutely nothing had changed since the end of the war. We couldn't wander around because of all the unexploded ammo that had never been removed.

History records that I read stated, Drum was not fought over. A destroyer pulled up to it and pumped thousands of gals of fuel into it and then it was set alight. It burned for days and it took weeks for it to cool. When our lads entered it, they found less than a squad of japs, quite toasted to a crisp.
