THIS IS THE STARTING POINT OF THE DEATH MARCH. THE JAPANESE MARCH SOLDIERS FROM THIS CAMP SOUTH OF MANILA. TODAY AT TAKES US ABOUT FOUR AND HALF HOUR TO DRIVE THAT DISTANCE THAT THIS BRAVE MEN WALK.
THE MEMORIAL HAS TWO BIG WALLS THAT ARE ENGRAVED WITH THE SOLDIERS NAMES. THERE WAS MOSTLY ARMY BUT THERE WERE SOME NAVY MEN.
