Zo703

Zo703. Lt. Col. William Massello is honored by Mayor G. Edward Bradley in Sommerville, Mass., as a survivor of the Corregidor Siege in 1942 and being on a Hell Ship, and POW in Japan. The Boston Sunday Globe got it completely wrong! The Allied personnel on Corregidor, ordered to surrender, DID NOT PARTICIPATE in the Death March on Bataan, they were marched thru Manila by the Imperial Japanese Military who wanted to demonstrate their believe that they were superior to the white race. I have met actual Death March Survivors from the association of the Battling Bastards of Bataan who felt bitter about that mistaken believe that the Corregidor defenders participated in the Death March or were kept in the POW Hell Hole of Camp O’Donnell.
