“OUR HOLY GRAIL”
FORTRESS OF CORREGIDOR. MACARTHUR’S ANNIVERSARY MESSAGE. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) SYDNEY, May 6. To mark the anniversary of the fall of Corregidor, General MacArthur today issued a special message from Allied headquarters in the South-west Pacific. The message says: “Corregidor surrendered a full year ago today. Intrinsincally, it is but a barren warworn rock, hallowed as are so many other places by death and disaster. Yet is symbolises within itself that priceless and deathless thing —the honour of a nation.
“Till we lift our flag from its dust, we stand unredeemed before mankind. Till we claim again the ghastly remnants of its gaunt garrison, we can but stand, humble and supplicant, before Almighty God. There lies oux- Holy Grail.”
