THE BOSTON POST, April 7, 1942
* Battle of Bataan ending close
* Allies surrender to Japanese
* Philippines Campaign
* World War II - WWII
The top of the front page has a nice headline in bold lettering: "YANKS FORCED BACK IN BIG BATAAN FIGHT" with more. (see) The end of this battle would be officially announced on April 9th. A nice issue for display. The Japanese capture would lead to the infamous Bataan Death March.
Complete with 18 pages, light toning and minor wear at the margins, generally in very nice condition.
source: USO: The Battle of Bataan ended on April 9, 1942, when Army Major General Edward P. King surrendered to Japanese General Masaharu Homma. About 12,000 Americans and 63,000 Filipinos became prisoners of war.
What followed became known as the Bataan Death March — one of the worst atrocities in modern history.
