Title: Philippine Invasion, 1941-1942.
Caption: View of Caballo Island from Corregidor, photographed after their conquest by the Japanese in May 1942. Copied from the Japanese book: "Philippine Expeditionary Force," published in 1943. Original Japanese caption: "Caballo Island: There is work to be done at the risk of one's own life and, if there are such tanks, carry them out, then die. One should be happy and proud to die for a country of which he does not feel ashamed. We will pass the day by withstanding the hardships that we must endure. Our lives are as bright as the moon that descends towards the horizon."
