On 9 Apr 1942, Mariveles, located at the southern tip of Bataan, Philippines, was the setting for the beginning of the Death March lasting for 6 days and covering 90 miles. The Japanese had forced American troops to surrender and made some 10,000 US soldiers and 50,000 of their Filipino allies march through oppressive heat to prison camps.
