Not many New Mexicans were on the Rock, as they called the tiny island
lying just off the southern tip of the Bataan Peninsula. When the
Japanese finally stormed to the southern tip of Bataan, a few New
Mexico National Guard troops had the opportunity to be evacuated to
the well-fortified bastion. And some of those who couldn�t find a
craft to transport them swam the relatively short distance or found a

final assault began. Japanese artillery pounded the island mercilessly,
day and night. On May 3, Gen. Wainwright wired Gen. McArthur that the
situation had become desperate. Most of the antiaircraft guns had been
knocked out. They would soon be fighting as infantry and about the
