CORREGIDOR'S OTHER |
A definitive list of men who lost their lives during the Corregidor operation is a work in progress, and cannot ever be considered final or exhaustive. The 503d PRCT list is available but the KIA's from all the other Rock Force units have never been listed or linked to their involvement in the fighting there. Sometimes, a connection to the Corregidor Operation can only be provisionally established by cross-reference to a date of death. Hence, the collection of comments which can identify individual names from published accounts, or anecdotal evidence from participants are critical to accomplishing the purpose.
The 3d Battalion of the 34th Infantry alone suffered - one authority has it - 38 killed in action and 153 combat related WIA's during the Corregidor mission.
The 592nd Engineer Boat and Shore Regiment suffered one man killed on the first day, and 8 wounded, of which one died the following day. Another man was wounded during the landings on D+1, and two on D+3.
We have no definitive list from the 603d Tank Co., save for the knowledge that all but one of a tank crew were killed at Monkey Point.
Nor do we have a listing for the 592d Joint Assault Signal Co., save for the ABMC Database.
Although the U.S. Navy was not a part of the ROCK FORCE, we desire to list their casualties too, so that ultimately we can establish, in human terms, the cost of retaking Corregidor in 1945.
"UNIDENTIFIED" indicates that there is a circumstance reported of a fatal casualty which has not been linked to an individual, whether that individual is listed or not listed here.
"UNKNOWN" in these lists is used as a placeholder, and does not indicate that the casualty is unknown to the proper authorities. It signifies only that the casualty's identity is not yet discovered by me.
This list is far from final, and the quest for names and evidence must continue. If you wish to assist us by contribute a piece of knowledge or information to this jigsaw, you may write to
