Dead soldiers on the Bataan Death March. Following the the surrender of Bataan on April 9, 1942 to the Japanese Imperial Army, prisoners were massed in in Mariveles and Bagac town and ordered to march to Balanga City, the capital of Bataan. They started on April 10 from Mariveles and April 11 from Bagac.
The reported death tolls vary, especially amongst Filipino POWs, because historians cannot determine how many prisoners blended in with the civilian population and escaped. The march went from Mariveles, Bataan, to San Fernando, Pampanga. From San Fernando, survivors were loaded to a box train and were brought to Camp O'Donnell in Capas, Tarlac. The 60 mi march was characterized by occasional severe physical abuse and resulted in some fatalities inflicted upon prisoners and civilians alike by the Japanese Army.
