| Description | Lot-9432-21: Battle of Bataan, 7 January – 9 April 1942. They Sleep on Bataan With Weapons Handy. Weary from long hours of vigilance in the Battle of Bataan, a U.S. Army dispatch rider takes a nap beside his machine at the end of a run, still cradling his gun. The picture, taken during the last days of the Philippine-U.S. forces heroic four-months stand, tells the story of what overpowered the brave but badly out-numbered men – sheer exhaustion. That, together with depleted stocks of arms and ammunition, together with dwindling supplies of food, finally terminated the battle. Office of War Information Photograph, 9-15 April 1942. Original photograph is small. (2015/12/18). |
