Keywords: monochrome Lot-9432-9: Battle of Bataan, 7 January – 9 April 1942. How Tireless U.S.-Filipino Medical Workers Cared for the Wounded of Bataan. The heroism of Bataan was not confined to the front lines. Behind, but not far from the scenes of battle, a little band of men and women – some of them members of the U.S. Medical Corps, some of them Red Cross workers – ministered to the wounded and carried on a continuing fight against fatigue, disease and death. Shown: A U.S. Army officer talks to a wounded Japanese prisoner undergoing treatment at one of the Filipino-U.S. forces’ makeshift hospitals on Bataan Peninsula. The Japanese was amazed at the care he was given. He had been convinced that he would be killed. Office of War Information Photograph, 9-15 April 1942. Original photograph is small. (2015/12/18).
