My great uncle was stationed on the Cruiser USS Phoenix in the Los Negros war. I have the origonal paperwork form Mac Author that boarded the ship that day. Its 3 pages and talks about the war. I seperated the pages from the staple that was rusted and put the pages on acid free paper in acid free clear covers. I think its very historic papers.
Great Les. Really interesting. Where did the concept of the Japanese, that they would be bypassed and left alone come from.? Was this a assumption of Mac Arther?
The plans laid out at Yalta were to have MacArthur's forces move on from the Philippines once he'd gotten his photo-ops out of the way. Once Manila was taken, they would leave the mop-up of the remaining islands to British and Australian forces and move directly on to the main assault on the Japanese home islands. I don't know if the Japanese had this intel or if they just assumed that would be the plan. They had had to move much of their force to prop up the defense of Leyte and Luzon, and had no choice but to leave lower-priority islands with lightened defenses. It was a gamble that neglected MacArthur's wish to capture timber mills on Negros that could provide materials for a push on Japan, and his willingness to ignore Roosevelt's orders.

Thank you for making this. I’m glad someone is documenting this.
