There Were Others
by Col. Hiram W. Tarkington
Commanding Officer of the 61st Field Artillery Regiment (Philippine Army)

Note: This is a manuscript that, unfortunately, was not published. The maps cited in the manuscript were not available when I found the manuscript in the Military History Institute, Carlisle Barracks, PA in 2005. Recently (April 2011) I gained contact with a grandson of Col. Tarkington and he was able to provide copies of the maps and several related documents. Now I am making this "treasure chest" of information (in my opinion) available to persons wanting information about the defense of the Visayas and Mindanao during December 1941 through May 1942. Use the following list to access the indicated portions of There Were Others. Page numbers are at the bottom right of most pages - some are typed and some are hand written.

therewereothers-TWO_Appendix.pdf Appendices (pages 444 - 462 contain a "PERSONNEL ROSTER". Unfortunately, Col. Tarkington was not able to complete the entries in the "PAGE" column. I made handwritten entries as I read the manuscript. My entries may not be complete, but they should help most readers locate information of interest.)
