503RD WAITS JUMP SIGNAL, CORREGIDOR 216-10

This photo has had remarkable distribution, made all the more extraordinary because the stick did not jump on Corregidor. The C-47 carrying them was hit, and fell out of formation before the troopers could jump. The troopers ( S/Sgt Charles M. McCurry, Pfc. Marion E. Boone, Pfc. Ralph E. Iverson, Pfc. Paul A. Narrow, Pfc. Theodore C. Yocum and Pfc. Bill McDonald ) would make landfall on Corregidor the following morning when the 1st Bn would be delivered via landing craft from Mariveles.
