The Japanese captured a large group of Americans early in the war on the southern tip of the Philippine island.

After the surrender of the United States-led Filipino forces in the Battle of Bataan, approximately 75,000 Filipino and American prisoners of war were forced to march over 60 miles to prison camps. The march was characterized by extreme brutality, with thousands of prisoners dying due to exhaustion, dehydration, and Japanese mistreatment.
