The next few days brought encouraging communiques from the MacAuthor command. “Lines holding,” “terrific losses inflicted on enemy,” “retreating according to plan” said the news. Full retreat, entire loss of our tanks, troops straffed and destroyed, a half million Japs ashore at various points. These were the rumors. And, parenthetically, whenever again I read a communique saying that a command has fallen back to “previously prepared positions” or that a line is “simply holding” I shall know that that command is taking a terrific beating. The period up to December 24 brought great5 stories from the front. Cap. Allen and his crew bombed and sank a Jap Cruiser, and was killed by Jap fighters when the plane came in for fuel. Buzz Wagner wore out P-40’s in his mad destruction of Japanese planes on the ground and in the air. A heroic Battalion of 31’s Infrantryman held Villasis bridge against a Japanese motorized unit which annihilated them. The lone company of calvary from Fort Stotsenberg hurled itself on Jap tanks to a man and horse. A Filipno doctor was killed because he would not tear down the American flag. A Filipno mayor leaped onto tank and emptied a small calibered pistol into its crew. These were not all heroic stories—thousands, whole divisions of Filipnos threw away guns and uniforms and fled to the jungles. Service men in panic crashed loaded trucks into trees and each other, loaded ammunition trains were deserted, lost and uselessly sent to wrong places. The inter-island steamer Corrigidor sailing from Manila pier at late evening instead of late afternoon as ordered struck our own minefield (being without sufficient escort) and sunk with all aboard, who could possibly get aboard, including my best and oldest friend. Everywhere—utter confusion, dread, and fear.
Object’s are ‘parent’ level descriptions to ‘children’ items, (e.g. a book with pages).

This personal narrative by Carr Hooper, written on his way home, details his experience in Santo Tomas Internment Camp in Manila, Philippines where he and his wife Ruth Hooper were interned. It includes an account of the first American air raid in Manila on September 21, 1944. The camp, also known as the Manila Internment Camp, was run by the Japanese military during World War II and housed over 3,000 internees from January 1942 until February 1945.
