Our tents
have been pitched and we had
no reveille or for that
matter breakfast, we had
been issued 4 meals of K
rations starting at noon
today and for breakfast
someone had the brilliant
idea of giving flour. It was
a bright sunny morning and
hot. By 0930 we had folded
and stacked cots and,
naturally, policed the area,
then we mounted trucks and
rode out to the air strip.
In very orderly fashion, we
got in our planes. The men
looked happy and neither
nervous or uneasy. At 1225
we took off.
Take off
time is wrong. RCT S-3
journal gives take off time
as 11:30 and the company
histories generally agree,
as does Calhoun's diary
|

Flying
time one hour and 5
minutes.. Our company jumped
on two fields,
three passes
over each. We had at least
24 to 27 men in each plane
and two bundles. There was
a north wind blowing to the
tune of 16 knots. We jumped
right into small arms fire
at all places except the
parade ground. Assembling
was a difficult task. Even
now at 1820 we two or three
unaccounted for. We know of
22 casualties, but we were
lucky. I believe it was the
worst jump of any airborne
operation. There is still
firing going on around us.
The Japs have some pill
boxes on the perimeter which
we must knock out. |

|
Some of
us ate K rations,
the boys of
the 3rd L.M.G. Platoon
barbecued a chicken. At 1930
it was dark.Blackout, no
lights, no fires. Our
disposition at the time was
Co. C.P. set up in
barracks. 3rd L.M.G. on
perimeter, 2nd L.M.G. with
D Co, 1st L.m.g. with E
Co. The mortar platoon had
only one complete mortar so
they set up just outside the
barracks. We found a lot of
T shirts, bed spreads,
towels, etc. which we used
for sleeping.Sleeping, no
one got much sleep. There
was sporadic firing going on
all night�on all sides
between a platoon of E Co.
and the Japs who had come up
through the night. Facing
north to our left front was
a pill box and entrance to a
tunnel. Our perimeter faced
directly to it. We opened up
on it and started a fire.
For one hour and a half it
burned steadily with huge
detonations. Anything in
that tunnel is well roasted
by now.

At about 0830, our
resupply planes came over with the intention of dropping bundles the
bundles in the parade ground. Many of them went in the low area to the
south near the pillbox of the Japs. There was a scramble to the
bundles�by our boys and the Japs. both. Firing went on all over the
parade ground. A combat team was made up to go after these pill boxes.
We used point blank artillery in addition in addition to bazookas and
flame throwers. It is quiet down there now
, they're closing in.
Our latest
count hospitalized casualties is 29 and two men missing. It looks like
there'll be a record a record high on jump casualties as we contact all
platoon leaders, we'll get a more complete report. I hope they recover
some water in those bundles. We're getting mighty low. We heard the
seaborne landing had been made but as of yet we've made no contact. We
also heard an LSM had come in with water but until contact is
established we can't get it here. There is still firing going on all
around. The Nips have ways of getting around that we don't know about.
But I think it will be a lot more quiet tonight.
At 1200 we're
clearing away debris to set up a Co. C.P.
We heard that
the 1st Bn was coming in by water. They were ordered not to jump due
to the high rate of jump casualties in the 2nd and 3rd Bns. As we
understand it they landed at Nielson Field and then went aboard LSM's to
come in. There was quite a bit of gunfire at the beach at 1400 when they
did come in. They were getting a hot reception with mg fire. Four P-47's
came in to strafe the Japs who were firing at them.
At about
1420, lo and behold, a tank came through from the beach
[the M-7 self propelled 105
with the 34th Inf.]
with the news that the road was being cleared by bulldozers.
At 1500 we
sent our 3rd L.m.g. Platoon with D Co. to clean out 3 pill boxes on
our south. There had been an attack on it about 1200 hrs. unsuccessful.
[Campbell and
Binegar were killed earlier than this attack. ]
There was quite a battle there and they cleared up one of the strong
points, Fortunately we had no casualties (LMG plat). We employed our
81mm one mortar on it� with some darn accurate shooting.
[Strange that those of us at 28-D didn't know of any mortar fire. They
did try to get some 75mm howitzer fire on the battery, but the
trajectory of the guns located on the parade grounds carried over the
battery and into the sea].
At 1700 hr we
were given 25 gallons of water which which was not quite enough to give
one canteen per man. Except for little bits of fire not much happened
till dark.
One of our
missing men turned up. He had been pinned down by small arms fire on
his jump but came out o.k. That leaves one man still missing in action
, Pfc. Guidice.
At about 1700
we [?]
All our m.g.
platoons and mortars are out on perimeter tonight. The firing started at
dark and kept up all thru the night.

About
0230 the pill box on the south that had been worked over, blew up
in flames, burning for about half an hour. About 0300 from out east we
heard cries that sounded like a Jap banzai charge,
probably near those
seaborne troops. In connection with same there was much firing.
At dawn all was quiet. Our 3rd
L.m.g. Platoon came back from perimeter. They had done some firing and
claimed a few Nips to their credit. With the little water we had left we
made some coffee and drew two K rations per man. The best estimate we
could get out men in of the hospital was 36.
Lt. Lee was transferred to F Co.
due to their having only two left. Lt. MacKenzie assumed command of 3rd
L.m.g. Platoon.
This morning a patrol E Co., with
some of our machine guns went after infantry dugouts on the north shore.
They were assisted by Navy shelling and some 75's from our artillery.
The remaining pill boxes on our north were shelled. Quite a bit of our
artillery firing.
Pfc Guidice, previously missing in
action, was reported brought in killed, our first.
At 1130 we were issued 5 cans of
water, enough for 1 canteen cup per man. The S-4 says that all for
today.I hope he's wrong. They're starting to evacuate some of the
hospital cases to the beach. The Nips have been identified as marines.
Afternoon passed by more quietly
than yesterday. E Company patrol lost 3 killed and 3 casualties in
their patrols.
[Joe Whitson's 1st platoon
moved down into James Ravine seeking the control station for the
electric controls of the mines in the North Channel].
One of our machine gun men was shot
in the same action. From reports they had encountered 35-40 Nips. I
guess, they'll go back tomorrow. Later in the afternoon there was
considerable machine gun firing.
The official report that the reg't.
had accounted for 900 but our losses are bigger than usual.
125
casualties in the battalion. With first battalion in tonight, we should
have a tighter perimeter. At 1810, the 3rd Lmg came in for more ammo.
They picked off several Japs trying to filter through. They'll probably
see some action tonight. |

Morning of the 19th |
There was plenty of action tonight � more than we�d like to see again.
The early morning hours had plenty of sporadic firing all around. About
0230 there was a tremendous detonation that shook the whole island � we
suspected that it came from Breakwater Point and that it was a Nip dump.
From that time on there was no sleep,
firing opened up from 360 degrees. The 1st Bn covering the south was
strongly attacked and so was the rest of the perimeter.
[The attack here was against a squad of D Co.�s 1st plt.,
mortar plt., and one squad of their 2nd plt. C Co. occupied
Btry Wheeler and lost S/Sgt Herbert F. Thomas was shot by his own men
who mistook him for a Jap. Read John Lindgren�s account in BEA. Small
wonder that many of the company officers in the battalions wondered if
the staffs knew there was a war going on. They seldom got out and
exposed themselves. I suppose by perimeter, they mean a local perimeter
around the 59th CA barracks. There certainly was none around
the regimental position].
The little
yellow men started infiltration into the parade ground. Shots were fired
through the C.P.� it was still dark. Everyone was up and in position for
the expected attack. A few mortar shots landed just about 10 yards to
the north of our barracks. There were hand grenades being thrown from
the south. We had no way of knowing how many there were � pitch dark and
gunfire all around. Our own men on the other side of the parade ground �
some of our own artillery were in the middle of the parade ground � we
darn sure couldn�t fire unless we were sure of our target. These Nips
marines wore green coveralls similar to our own; its difficult to
distinguish them at 50 yds.
|
|
Dawn was
breaking (for that we were very thankful) and that�s when the Nips
started withdrawing. We saw a dead Jap ten yards in front of our
barracks (south). He had flung a few grenades into the Bn. C.P.,
injuring four S-2 men. He must have been ready to throw another when he
was shot; his right arm was blown off.
There was
still plenty of firing�mostly to the west of us in the valley. The Japs
had fixed a strong point in two concrete houses at the south end of this
valley.
At 0900
plans were being made for attacks on strong points. Help was being
secured from air corps and navy.
Right now
at 1050 hour there are concentrated fire on Breakwater Pt. And to the
south around Geary and Searchlight Pt. Our casualties have been
heavy�the regiment is so short of men that we can�t hold positions that
we take. It seems that we can�t fill our positions we take.
[When D and F Companies are placed 1,000 yards apart, and the right
flank is open to Topside, I believe those choosing the positions must be
held responsible, and this is just one side.]
We could
use some replacements � and quick. Reports came in that Pfc Robert Dunn
was killed on D company perimeter � also that two new men were seriously
wounded. The �D� company resume of our actions since we're on the
island would run something lie this � we take some positions during the
day, withdraw, the Nips reoccupy them at night and the next day we�re
fighting for them again.
At 1110,
right now, there�s just sporadic firing mostly to the northwest this has
been a hectic day. There's a good, solid war going on here in Corregdor
all by itself. There have been attacks all day long. This is the first
five minutes it has been quiet � no, there goes some dome firing again.
There were Japs found all over the area in hiding. They wouldn�t open
fire against a single Yank � they�d wait for a group. About 1650 they
opened up from the tunnels we blew up yesterday with two machine
guns�and they really bounced the bullets off our C.P.
I repeat
we just don�t have enough men to hold what we take during the day. They
turn up again in places they were flushed out.
About 1750
another ammo dump blew up � we don�t know the cause. Our losses have
been terrific. �D� Company had 25 casualties during the night. Three of
them were from our 2nd L.M.G. Platoon. They were completely surrounded
and had a tough night�grusome, I should say. Our perimeter will be a
little tighter tonight. The break thru that came through the 1st Bn.
chewed up one of their companies.
[D
Company chewed up the Japs on the SW -consider the large number of
bodies D Co. threw over the cliffs at Wheeler Point as well as the
unknown number that got past Btry. Hearn in the darkness].
Three
prisoners were taken today and from different people I gathered that
their story was something like this � there were five thousand of them
on the island. (I know there less than that now).
[We
are yet to discover that there are still 3-4 thousand more to be dealt
with].
They have
enough ammo and food for three and a half years. Sounds pretty
permanent. One of them said said they were intending to storm
this place tonight with 1,000 men
[This news is 24 hours late].
If it�s true let �em come. We�ll get it over in one big
banzai. It�s quiet again, no I�m wrong . I�ll close down for the night. |

The expected banzai didn�t come off,
and nobody was sorry because they got a chance for a few hours sleep.
But there was plenty of noise.
About 1930 there was a
detonation and the whole barracks shook. Some thought it was an
earthquake. We discovered later that, on the information of one of the
prisoners, the navy
[writer
does not like to capitalize other services]
exploded over a ton of mines planted in the channel between the mainland
and Corregidor.
Just before dark there was some small
arms fire and all through the night just occasional machine gun fire. I
think the Japs were confused by our new perimeter � if they had tried to
break thru last night, Nips would have been all over the field
[Our command never conceded that
the 500
or 600 killed by F Co and that many, or more, killed by D Company the
night before broke the back of organized Japanese resistance. I doubt if they
realized it. I believe Bill Bailey�s statement stating that the up
stairs candle power of our leaders was suspect].
We put out harassing fire all night.
75 Howitzers, 81mm mortar, and even 40mm. were firing all night. Even
the PT boats moved in and shelled the infantry barracks at Morrison
Point. Today there�s more plans for holing up the tunnels with heavy
fire by our heavy weapons the navy and I think the air corps.
[I suppose ��weapons of the��]. |

This is the first
morning that I have to think of something to write. Yesterday was the
quietest day for our infantry troops. All day long there was harassing
fire by howitzers, and some navy shelling at the tunnels on the coast.
In the afternoon, E co. went down and closed up about 15 tunnels that
had been blasted. Otherwise the day passed uneventfully.
Toward evening we started taking up the same
perimeter � it had worked out swell the night before and it worked again
last night. There was, however, more
harassing fire than before. Howitzers and mortar shells were thrown out
all night long. There was almost no small arms fire at our C.P.
This
morning started off with the mortars throwing out lots of ammo while E
Co. moved in to take the next ridge at the N.W. corner corner of the
island.
I think the general plan today is for our battalion to work down
and clear the west end, E Co. on the north, F Co. down the middle, and D
Company on the south, With the help of artillery and naval fire they
expect to meet and thus will we�ll occupy this whole end of the island.
But we can�t possibly man it by night � so if there are still Nips at
night they can move in again at night, so we�ve got the same job.
[Results did not bear this out. When E Co. cleared out James Ravine it
stayed clear. Same for F Co. and Grubbs Ravine, and D Co. Cheney Ravine.
Only Btry. Monja remained and it certainly was never taken].
From what
I hear Malinta tunnel is chock full of little yellow men, food and
enough ammo to blow the island. That seems to be the
Problem � whether to let them blow us up or us to blow them or what?
Anyway things are much more quiet. They�ve been evacuating the wounded
and dead this morning this morning. The latest Nip dead is 1823. Our
company�s casualties to date are 31 hospitalized and 3 killed. It is now
1000 hour, resume this evening. |

The plan went through yesterday. The Cos. Circling
from north, south, and center to the western point of the island. Some
resistance was met; not very much. There was about twenty more caves and
tunnels closed up. It�s a rough go � you have to go into every one and
the close it up with demolitions or the Nips go back in. We�ve found out
that if you close up a tunnel without completely blocking it, when you
come back, its reoccupied. There can�t be very much left on this end.
[John and I could not remember one single cave or tunnel in the D and F
Co, areas that was sealed � this included dirt caves and cement lined
tunnels. Don was sick much of the time and didn�t know about E Co.. I�ll
comment more about this in another writing].
We found evidence where the Japs stripped and swan to
Bataan. The PT boats have picked off quiet a few. Our battalion is
pulling the same mission today�sweeping the western end of the island.
The same interdictory firing was kept up last night by mortars and
howitzers and we had the same perimeter with same results. Most of the
activity is at Malinta Tunnel. I don�t think that anyway yet has been
devised of the final disposition of that immense hole. It�s being bombed
by P-47�s, howitzers,--there�s machine guns set up at the
entrance�they�ve even yelled at them to come surrender. Something�ll
happen there today. We have bulldozer up here now that�s cleared a cut
strip on the parade ground�there�s a rumor that some general is coming
in on it, in a cub no less. Almost all the chutes are gathered up from
the field.
The companies are pushing thru according
to yesterday�s schedule �E� Co. has closed up some more tunnels with not
much opposition. The report from �F� Co. came in a little while ago;
they ran into some stiff machine gun fire opposition and had three
killed and two wounded . One of those killed was Lt. MacKenzie of this
company.
[Four were killed: Mikel, Yocum, Narrow, and MacKenzie].
One other was hit by buckshot
[birdshot]
all over his face and chest.
[Stanley Maciborski walked past the small corrugated metal building on
the south side was on the north side in the dry stream looking at a
door, and I stepped up out of the bed to examine the building. The
shooter was against the west side in a few bushes. As Maciborski passed
he shot him in the face. It looked like the blast tore the side of his
face off; however, he returned to duty at Negros, scarred but not really
bad. How did it miss his eye? Usually a machine gun tripped an ambush,
but this time the shotgun was the first to fire].
This may be an isolated group! but, then, they may be pouring out of
caves because they are afraid of being sealed up.
[No. They poured out of the big cave because of the flame throwers. We
counted about seventy dead here many running out aflame, and I am sure
some did not get to the entrance where we could count them.]
A cub landed on the parade ground this morning. Just heard that another
officer from �E� Co. was wounded � this battalion is mighty short of
officers now.

The remainder of the evening passed by uneventfully but
for the usual artillery fire. The same perimeter was set up. A battery
of 75�s was set up in the parade ground firing in the direction of
Malinta Tunnel.
Our 2nd Bn is getting new sectors to cover. �E� Co.� this
morning is thru from sweeping Searchlight to Breakwater Points.
[?]
The 1st & 3rd Bn are to sweep thru the narrow end of
the island. There�s a rumor that the 503 will take over the job of
cleaning out the Malinta Tunnel. This morning there are tractors and
cranes working on the parade ground. P-47�s are again hammering at the
Malinta Tunnel.

�E Co� ran into all the action yesterday. They got
over 100 in some tough fighting � just smoking them out of tunnels with
grenades and bazookas. The cost was two killed and three wounded.
[Our own battalion HQ Co. doesn�t even know what
happened. They cannot even report the number KIA. They are too fixated
with regimental and battalion staff reports to realize what is
happening. The Japs in Malinta Tunnel had been killed in the great
explosion several nights earlier. This is an excellent example of the
staffs forting up and depending upon hearsay.]
Our battalion otherwise was
inactive. We had the same perimeter last night, with the 75�s and
mortars banging away all night � bless �em. This morning the mortar
platoon laid down a 25 minute barrage on the ravine between on the
ravine between Wheeler and Rock Point.
[Cheney or Grubbs?]
Today we are able to send out mail. Coveralls are available for salvage.
I wish they�d hand them out so we could peel ours off our skin.
[Many of us,
specifically those not in the MacArthur honor guard detail who were
allowed to draw fresh uniforms, left in the same fatigues we wore on the
jump � fithy, salt encrusted, and reduced to rags].

The biggest thing that happened yesterday was �D� Co.�s mission down
near Wheeler Pt.
[This was the attack upon
Battery Monja].
They really ran
into trouble � the Japs were in a cave at the water�s edge and there was
no way of getting at �em. They had sniper positions and couldn�t be
picked off. They had two killed
[ The correct number is
four]
and I don�t the amount wounded.
The navy shelled some of the caves but I don�t know how successful they
were. �D� Company had to be evacuated by barge
[LCM]
�
we�re getting swell co-operation from the navy
[Army LCM�s].
The 1st Bn is pushing down toward the east end of the island reached the
airstrip. I heard that they ran into quite a few Nips and have rolled up
a good score. There should be more air and naval support today. The
howitzers (75) and mortars have been going since yesterday evening.
This morning some Japs were seen trying to swim the channel to Bataan �
P-47�s spotted them and came down for a strafing. They were out of range
for the small arms from the shore. We were dropped some mail this
morning � the second time since we�re here. The afternoon was spent
listening to the howitzers lay down fire in front of the 1st Bn.,
somewhere around Monkey Pt. The same perimeter was set up and there was
firing all night � our mortars covering the ravines in the west and our
howitzers firing all night to the east.

Aside from our navy weapons firing, it was a quiet night. There was no
activity this morning. We were called on to put in recommendations for
awards and we turned in
[illegible]
so far � there�s more we have to get.
A Jap prisoner into Reg�t CP � while being questioned he attacked the
interpreter with the following results � he got two butt strokes and a
kick in the head � no more Jap.
Around noon or little earlier, we heard of an explosion down near Monkey
Point that wiped out a great deal of 1st Bn. This afternoon we see (now)
trucks rolling in with the wounded and dead. Already over a hundred dead
have been counted and many remain yet. �A� and �C� were just about done
for.
[1st Bn HHQ Co and �A� Co]
were just about done for. The story that we�ve heard was that a tank,
on the hill near Monkey Point fired into a tunnel and set off the
explosion that threw rocks as far as two miles. The count of dead Japs
on the island was over 3000 this morning. |

The rest of the day of the 26th was spent in
evacuating the dead and wounded from Monkey Pt.
Yesterday we got account of a count partial of
the casualties of the explosion. There were known to be over 200 of
which over 50 were dead � an accurate report is not yet available. We
had a few patrols out yesterday but thy didn�t run into much � 10 Nips
were accounted for.
A C-47 flew over yesterday spraying the island with
fly repellant and, lo and behold, the flies were repelled � an extremely
successful mission. This same pilot spotting a patrol of �D� Co. and
mistaking them for Japs, opened up with a Tommy gun wounding one. I
understand he was hauled up before a general for that feat
[Only after we returned to Mindoro, did we learn
this, further establishing that the journal was written retrospectively
from hastily scribbled notes].
Our 81 mortars were given credit for 6 Japs during
the barrage in the night of the 26th. Our perimeters were pulled in a
little tighter last night due to the fact that the movement of the 1st
Bn came here on Topside and took in part of the perimeter.
Each company has picked 12 men for
a guard for Gen MacArthur who is supposed to come Friday. RSu called for
equipment shortage today. Wonder what that would be for? There's a rumor
around that the unit will get a Presidential citation for this mission.
Everyone is anxiously awaiting the announcement of a surprise to be made
by Col. Jones after Gen. MacArthur�s visit. Who knows, maybe it�s
another mission. The count on dead Nips is over � four thousand � for
the 2nd Bn over 900

The past two days have been uneventful. There have
been the usual duties as around any place after a campaign � everyone �
trying to rest up. Some little patrols have gone out without much
results.
The air corps has given Caballo Island a going over �
it�s estimate that there are over 500 Nips on Caballo.
Yesterday, Gens. MacArthur, Kruger, Kenney, Hall, and
numerous others were here. They inspected the island and were present at
a ceremony of the flag raising on the parade ground. General Mac
big
[can�t decipher next
two words]
compliments for
outfit (saying he was citing it) and presented Col. Jones with the D.S.C.
We hear that we�re to move out in four days back to the place we came
from.

Nothing has happened of any importance this evening.
The greatest thing was an issue of beer per man yesterday.
[Neither Lieutenants Lindgren or Calhoun, in "D" and
"F" Companies, as well as anybody else has any remembrance of
this. Beer issues were so rare that they were not difficult to forget.
The authors believe the beer was consumed by those in the big barracks.]
Small patrols have been going out and get a few
Nips killed. Two or three boys have been injured while out souvenir
hunting. On the morning of the 6th a regt�l. detail is going to Bataan
to dedicate the cemetery.
[The cemetery was at established at Mariveles, and
post-war was moved to Ft. Bonifacio in Manila.]
The flies are thicker than before (illegible)� more
spraying.
[The eggs had hatched out
following the first spraying.]
We�re still on 10-in-1 rations � the water is
plentiful. We leave the island on the 8th. The Co. has
already submitted shipping registers.
