In the early morning hours of May 6, 1942, a 22-year-old Signal Corps man telegraphed a frantic, play-by-play of the fighting and bombardment on Corregidor Island as Japanese forces moved ever closer to Malinta Tunnel.

And the young man transmitted it to the world, as a nation wept.

I mentioned these POWs in the episode, here are links to their stories:

  • Henry Goodall's audacious war-time strategies (Episode #14)
  • Nurse Clara Bickford - abandoned on Bataan (Episode #25)
  • Final transfers of Hall, Hutchison, & McManus (Episode #12)
  • Felipe Fernandez: A daring Bataan escape (Episode #26)
  • Frank Pyzick's first days (Episode #1)
  • Louis Sontag & Brooks Miller's attempted escapes (Episode #5)
  • Alan Manning at Cabanatuan (Episode #10)
