Bataan Death March

In World War II, brutal forced march of US and Filipino troops captured by the Japanese after the fall of Bataan April 1942.

Following the surrender of Bataan, General MacArthur was evacuated, but Allied captives were force-marched 95 km/60 mi to the nearest railhead; ill-treatment by the Japanese guards during the march killed about 16,000 US and Filipino troops.
