Handlon was killed about where the
soldier carrying the parachute is walking. Huff and Friehoff were in
a room near a powder magazine to the left of the stairs shown.
Our maps were so deficient,
until I arrived and actually read the name, I had no idea of its
identity - and it had been one of our "go" points. It was the first
name I read on Corregidor. The last time I saw Wheeler it was black
(the entire back area) from the great explosion . This must have
been 158th or a later date. The pile of crumpled corrugated
metal and wood also contains the top of the AA gun mounted in the
No. 2 gun port (East). I believe the bulldozer has pushed this up
from the warehouse wreckage in Battery "B" area where metal and wood
abounded.
