In the face of advancing Japanese troops during World War II, US and Filipino forces under General
Douglas MacArthur abandoned Manila and retreated west to the Bataan Peninsula.
Crippled by malaria, weakened from their decision to share their food rations with the civilians, and
demoralised after MacArthur's departure for Australia, the surviving defenders surrendered when
they became convinced that no outside help would arrive. What followed became known as the
Bataan Death March. The Japanese led 55,000 American and Filipino prisoners on a brutal six - day,
120-mile trek to a prison in the Pampanga Province. Each day on the way ended with the slaughter of
all prisoners too ill to continue. More than half the captives died in this way and another 25%
perished in the camp before the war ended.
