Bunker or Tunnel Entrance Amid Pine Forest, Camp John Hay, Baguio, Luzon, Philippines, WWII

A fortified bunker or tunnel entrance nestled among pine trees at Camp John Hay near Baguio, Luzon, in the Philippines. Originally a U.S. Army recreation post, Camp John Hay was occupied by Japanese forces during WWII and later became the site of General Yamashita's surrender in September 1945. Structures like this bunker reflect the extensive wartime fortification of the Philippine highlands during the brutal Luzon campaign. Project: 218442
