Corregidor
Still there but not forgotten.
Arriving at Corregidor from Manila, some 30 miles across Manila Bay. 12 inch US Army mortar battery. Oh well, and outing is an outing I suppose. Rannge: 8.3 miles, azimuth 360 degrees. 14 inch US Army arty piece on Corregidor. These have huge counter weight and would rise to fire then sink down to reload. This is the very arty piece seen in the Japanese propaganda photo where all the Japanese troops were raising their arms and hollering bonsai, bonsai. Range: 12 miles, azmimuth: 360 degrees. Breach end, 12 inch mortar.
