 | | Major General Jonathan M. Wainwright (left), holed up in the tunnels at Malinta on Corregidor, doggedly refused to surrender, making the hasty evacuation of the Bataan troops all the more necessary. |
 | | General Wainwright held onto his increasingly shaky position at Correigdor, now subject to Japanese heavy artillery shelling, until the sixth of May. Wainwright’s troops, now POWs, would later join their Bataan brethren at another hellhole of a camp, called Cabanatuan. |
 | | General Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright IV, US Army, Retired, MH, died 2 September 1953 and was buried with full military honors in Arlington National Cemetery alongside his father, who had also been a career army officer who had died in the Philippines many years earlier. |
