| General Note |
- General note - A remarkable and enduring tale from a living survivor of the Bataan Death March, one of the most horrifying events of World War II. - Roderick Hall
|
| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - Personal account of a teenage American college student who joined the US Army Air Corps in 1941, was assigned to the 19th Bomb Group and shipped to the Philippines in September 1941. He was at Clark Field when it was bombed on the day the war started, and then was ordered to Bataan as an infantryman. He participated in the Death March, was imprisoned in Camp O'Donnell and Cabanatuan before being shipped out to Korea and on to Mukden Manchuria, where he spent almost two years. He was liberated in 1945 by the Russians, but also came into contact with Japanese germ warfare weapons which resulted in various ailments after the war. Hoping to preserve his story, he recorded his memories, which in turn were transcribed and written in book form by his wife. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
