RETRIBUTION...
FOUR YEARS HAVE PASSED sincc those who held "The Hock" while life was still in them turned desperately
one tu another and said: "This is the end!" And it was. The order to give up Corregidor liai I come. The day
was May U, 1942. Now, four years later, peasants make their way along the road from Bataan to San Fernando.
It is a free road, L>ut it is a haunted road. The thick and tangled tropic growth that lines the mail is tilled with
ghosts. This was the road along which moved the "March of Death." Many of those who survived still are
haunted. Four years later they have merely to close their eyes—and they see a road littered \\ ith the dead and
the dying. They hear the groans of agony and the curses ol men with hands tied behind their backs, suffering
from the lash and the bayonet and the club. They see men fall in the ii tracks and ethers push weakly on
then- faces scarred, their bodies gaunt with hunger. They are haunted by faces such as ' ne terribly from
the above picture. I'.it four yea ι.- after thc.v have been avenged, "The 11 •ck'' stands Irce. ι ..••my has been
