Disgrace on Parade: The March to Cabanatuan

Left Behind: When America Surrendered WW2

In late May 1942, American POWs captured on Corregidor endured a hellish train ride and march to Cabanatuan’s infamous POWs camps.

Among them was Navy Ensign Whitman, who, weakened by malaria and lack of food and water, struggled to keep pace with the relentless march. Despite comrades' aid, Whitman's condition worsened.

And as his strength waned, he collapsed, left by the roadside as his fellow prisoners pressed on.
