In late 1941, Japan simultaneously invaded
several southeast Asian countries, including the
Philippines. Most of the Filipino and United
States forces defending the country were rapidly
overrun or forced to retreat. A significant
proportion of the Allied forces made a stand on
the Bataan Peninsula. (The pronunciation of the
place name used in English is buh-TAHN.)

Meanwhile, Allied forces elsewhere in the
Philippines fought on, and the column of
prisoners marching from Bataan was accidentally
shelled by US guns defending Corregidor. Packed
into boxcars to travel from San Fernando to
Capes, the number of prisoners was further
diminished by malaria, heat, dehydration and
dysentery.
