We can not verify this, but this picture reminds us of the massacre of members of the 91st INF PA, at the Pantigan River, during the Death March. If you can verify this photo, please contact us.

"The Surrender at Lamao"
The Battling Bastards of Bataan has long held the view that Gen. King surrendered the Luzon Force in Lamao, Bataan, not, as many believed, in Bataan's Provincial Capital, Balanga, Bataan. Gen. King surrendered himself, and the Luzon Force, at Lamao, giving his pistol to Col. Nakayama, at the experimental farm. Later in the day, he was brought to Balanga where he was interrogated and made to pose for propaganda photos. No surrender papers were ever signed. Pictured above, riding on the Jeep are Col. Williams, Maj. Hurt, (in the back seat) and the driver, Pvt Burns, from the 192nd Tank Bn.

Davao Penal Colony
When the Japanese Imperial Army moved the POWs out of Davao Penal Colony, they left behind to die those too sick to travel.
