Album Info:

Memorial marker marks the site where US 503rd Parachute Regimental Combat Team landed in their effort to re-capture Corregidor from the Japanese - "An unnamed Marine from the 4th Marine Division wrote the following lyrics (see next photo caption) to the tune of the 'Marines' Hymn,' just before going into battle in Corregidor. The author of "The Corregidor Hymn" was captured by the Japanese in the battle, which ended 6 May 1942, and was never seen again. From February 16 to 26, 1945, American liberation forces spearheaded by the 503d Infantry Regiment, 503rd Parachute Regimental Combat Team, swept into Corregidor and took it back during the Battle for the Recapture of Corregidor."
