Well, all I can say is despite of our efforts, the Americans had superior numbers and fire power. So we were not able to take the American camp until the GIs surrendered due to lack of ammunition and food. We did almost everything we could: probes, diversionary attacks, banzai charges, sniping from the trees, etc. We left leaflets for our Fillipino friends and asked them to join us in the Great East Asia Sphere of Co-prosperity. The rain was great as it cool down the weather and masked the noises as we walked through the jungle. However, just one day of rain was hard on our leather gear and weapons. I can see how everything can be totally trashed in a few weeks in this weather.

What were the behind the scenes? Got to let us live vicariously through you guys

Greetings Gentlemen, Here are a couple of more pics from the Bataan Reenactment. Greetings Labrador, By any chance are you or do you know Albert Labrador. I used to know him from the old IPMS in the Philippines. We actually met only a couple of times but I remember that he specialized in German WWII armour. I think one of the times we met was at a hobby shop in Green Hills (Vira Mall?)somewhere in the third floor where he had a huge diorama of German Tanks and Infantry advancing with a burnt out Sherman tank in the streets. It was very well made and protected by a plexiglass case. In any case welcome and I hope to see your photos in Khaki. On the way to meet the enemy. The Magnificent Seven. Close-up of the men. More of the men. Waiting for the enemy. milspec
