SYNOPSIS: General McCarthy said....."as the days passed, as the last mule and the last rat were eaten and still no help came, these soldiers asked to be buried face down so that they might never look on those Americans who would come some time, but who, for them, would come too late". "Bataan and Corregidor need no comment from me. They have sounded their own story at the mouth of their guns. They have scrolled their own epitaph on enemy tablets. But through the bloody haze of the last reverberating shot I shall always seem to see a vision of grim, gaunt, ghastly men, still unafraid". Written by the last US soldier standing in the Battle of Bataan, this is a true narrative of their endurance during the battle, while they were ill-equipped and starving.
