Luzon, Dec. 1941 before and during the retreat to Bataan. History 1
A little something to show respect and salute to the veterans of this campaign. The anniversary for Corregidor is coming up anyway... "Our mission...
If you read as many Bataan-related books as you can, many will have information about those who escaped. One is Bataan Diary by Chris Schaeffer....
You mean it was filmed during WW2 not during the battle? I think it only lasted for 2 weeks. I just noticed that kind of detail because they do...

Have you asked around in the G503 boards? Maybe one of the WW2 vehicle enthusiasts there can identify the grill.
