Beyond the QM laterals are
the NAVY Laterals. This map was drawn by Ed R. Michaud in 1983
based upon his research into the storage of silver and gold in the
1941-42 period, and cannot be vouched for, particularly in the now
collapsed areas. There are, in fact, four Navy tunnels on the
western side of Malinta Hill, named Queen, Roger, Sugar and Tare.
It's not known whether the Q-R-S-T lexicon is of any significance. Don Abbott has recorded 20 entrances of varying sizes which
exit and ventilate the Malinta Hill.

Battery Ramsay was virtually
obliterated when a direct aerial hit penetrated its
magazine, courtesy of The Jolly Rogers. During the siege in
1941-42, Al McGrew manned a MG pit in front of gun #1, and he's
applied his talents in illustrating the battery as it then was.

Battery Way, plan view.
Fortunately for Corregidoros, Btty. Way has survived the war, the
scrappers, and the tourists. It remains the best example of
the battery architecture of the times.
