Garands in old WW2 Japanese movie

[enbloc8]

I have that book too but after having read many other books about the Bataan campaign, I've come to the conclusion that that was a localized decision to exchange weapons. Maybe here and there someone would exchange rifles but it certainly wasn't wholesale. There are too many accounts of the last days in Bataan where there were mentions about the garands they carried in battle.

Like where? I have always had a strange fascination with the Bataan story and am always on the lookout for new accounts.

I've even come across an account where some young soldiers didn't even know how to work bolt-action rifles because they went to boot camp and were trained with the garand in 1941. These were the young and non-prior service soldiers and the garand was the only rifle they knew.

Funny, the story I heard once was the exact opposite...a large group of pilot trainees was released to the infantry late in the war and was sent to the front as reinforcements. One of them asked my friend (a veteran of the 37th Division/129th Infantry in the PI) how to load a Garand because he'd only been trained on the M1903 in basic.

And now for the important question...do you know where I can get a copy of this movie? Being a Chicago-area resident who periodically drives through Maywood, I at least once a year pause to remember Company B of the 192nd Tank Btn.
