The Real Story behind Corregidor’s Final Photo

In the days leading up to the surrender of Corregidor Island, Army Major Paul Wing snapped a picture of 16 exhausted Army men in the Malinta Tunnel.

That photo would be one of the last photos smuggled off the island just before the Fall of The Philippines.

But that wasn’t the end of the story…

All 16 men would soon become prisoners of war and endure hell ships, forced labor, and worse.

This is their story.
