This handful of Filipino Scouts had just mopped up a Japanese landing party when the picture was made on the Philippines’ Bataan Peninsula. One of the Scouts holds a Samurai sword, which was taken from Japanese officer who was slain in the fight. Courageous men like these were an important factor in enabling the American and Filipino forces to hold Bataan, in the face of tremendous odds, for more than three months – long after it had been written off by outside military experts.
