I had a great uncle on that march.He survived it and died when I was a teenager back in the 70s.Hated the Japs till the day he died I do remember that.

He surely was a Patriot and a heroic survivor.
All the men and women were.
Many men from New Mexico were in that death march. 200th Coastal Artillery. The 200th was my regiment. Enlisted in the 7th Bn of the 200th Air Defense Artillery. Had a chance to meet a few of those Heroes.
