Summary

• MALABANG STRIP, MINDANAO--THEY NEVER SURRENDERED--The guerrillas shown here are part of a band which has fought the Japanese for three years. Now they have the Japanese cornered in Malabang Town. The guerrillas occupy the north, south and east. To the west of the town is the Moro Gulf. The two PBJs shown in the background have just landed after bombing the Japanese only 1,000 yards from this guerrilla-held strip. A few minutes after this photo was taken the Marine Mitchells took off and again bombed the same Japanese positions. The PBJs are part of a squadron commanded by Lieutenant Colonel George A. Sarles, U.S.M.C., who is present in the crowd of guerrillas.
