1942
The 90,000 to 100,000 American and Filipino prisoners of war from Bataan begin a 60 mile march under the hot sun from Mariveles to San Fernando and Capas in the Philippines, with little food or water. This was to become known as the Bataan Death March because somewhere between 10 - 25% of the POWs died during the forced march - it was later accounted as a Japanese war crime. April 9 is now known as Araw ng Kagitingan ("Day of Valor"), and is a national holiday in the Philippines.
