After we visited Cabanatuan we went to Camp O'Donnell where there were POW's both Filipino and American incarcerated.  Here is where they sent by boxcar hundreds of POW's.  They were crammed into box cars shown here up to 110.  The heat was intense, the men sick and some men died but couldn't fall anywhere as they were so packed vertically in the box car.
