Caption: Japanese troops inspect one of Corregidor's big guns, after the island's capture, May 1942. Copied from the Japanese book: "Philippine Expeditionary Force," published in 1943. Original Japanese caption: "In order to raise the Emperor's flag up high the true spirit of our gallant forces burns with an intense redness that is like that of the mountain cherry. They have left their homes and sailed the high seas and have engaged in battle with the haughty enemy."
