Luzon Mountains Memoir From Pfc Leonard Lott
Pfc Leonard Lott writes to his parents from Luzon September 7 1945 recounting combat experiences in the final war phase. He describes moving through the Zambales Province and Ziz Zag Pass with K Company and infantry support, the toll of uphill patrols, mountain terrain, and a major hill assault where his squad led the advance. He notes rest at Fort Stotsenburg Clark Field and nearby duty, encounters with fellow soldiers, and the aftermath as his unit prepares for occupation duty in Lingayen Gulf with suggestions of possible transfer to Japan. He closes with reassurance to his parents and words of good health.
