Owner's Description

The photos on this page were taken by my father in February or March 1945 during or shortly after the Battle of Manila. The first photo shows a destroyed Japanese medium tank. Note that the turret and right track have been shot off. The second picture shows a destroyed public building. Note the army tents and fuel drums in the foreground and the almost total destruction of the public building in the background.
