One of my WW2 souvenirs. 60cmx60cm Hand sewn map that I’m guessing is Pina cloth, entitled “Liberation of Marinduque”
Shows all six towns and notes that Balaring as where “Japs landed July 7, 1942. It also calls out Buena Vista “Americans landed Jan. 9, 1943”. Unless the maker of this map knew of some other event, this date is inaccurate as the Americans landed on January 3, 1945 as is noted at the top of the map.
This was from an estate sale in the U.S. and the owner was not identified. The maker of this map is also unknown, but I would guess was from Marinduque.
The condition of the map is poor with stains in the middle and fold lines with some tears along the folds.
