Survivors from the Bataan Death March Begin Entering Camp O’Donnell
The survivors from the Bataan death march began to enter O’Donnell camp on the other side of the peninsula on April 25th, groups continued to arrive until the beginning of May. Along the way thousands had died at the hands of the Japanese. There was little respite in suffering for the US and Philippine troops who had endured the horrors of the march. They were all now in very poor condition, at best weak and emaciated. Many more men were ill and the death rate continued even after they entered the camp.
