Soldiers Discovering Grave Sites

(Original Caption) Uncared For Graves Of Americans In Japanese Prison Camp. Philippine Islands: An American soldier and a war correspondent push back the overgrown weeds to reveal grude wooden crosses which mark the resting place of American heroes who died at Camp O'Donnell. The terminus of the infamous march of death ordeal wreaked upon the gallant American and Filipino survivors of bataan and corregidor after their surrender. The camp was deserted by the Japs when American landings upon luzon were anticipated. More than 3,500 graves, mark by the crude and broken crosses were counted by American forces who overran the area soon after the Lincayen Landings. 40,000 of the prisoners died in the Jap-made hellhole, according to a Filipino Colonel survivor.
