I literally just talked to the guy by phone. He's an old man can hardly hear, i feel bad for talking shit
The canteen was found in a barn in LA. It's being sent to me real soon.He wants hardly nothing for it. Just what he paid plus the cost of shipping. So stoked.

Thanks a bunch bro! You're the best.
How my grandpas ww2 canteen ended up at a garage sale in LA and than on the internet is something I'll never know. He must have left it somewhere in or near this tunnel on Corregidor island after being shot and captured and than death marchedand POW for the whole rest of the war.

I've been to both Bataan and Corregidor (including the tunnels & gun emplacements) many years ago (the early 60's) - we were finding slugs rolling around in the sand at the beach.
They are surreal places.

Nice!
My cousin went there some years ago and just shared with me all his pics of the gun emplacements and tunnels. Awesome stuff!

RIP Harry Dean Stanton. The great character actor (Alien, Cool Hand Luke) was a Navy vet who served on LST-970 during the Battle of Okinawa

My Dad spent 8 months in Rocket City in 67 - he kept a daily diary that my siblings and I found after his passing & it is some intense reading.

"The commander of the Navy’s largest operational battle force and his subordinate in charge of the attached destroyer squadron have been removed from their positions as a result of ongoing investigations into a string of incidents this year that resulted in the death of 17 sailors and hundreds of millions of dollars in damages, USNI News has learned.
U.S. 7th Fleet Commander Vice Adm. Philip Sawyer removed Rear Adm. Charles Williams, commander of Combined Task Force 70, and Capt. Jeffery Bennett, commodore of Destroyer Squadron 15, from their positions on Monday (Tuesday local time) due to a loss of confidence in their ability to command, two Navy officials told USNI News and later confirmed by a statement from the service."
