Is there a list of Bataan survivors?

As of 2015, there is no comprehensive list of survivors of the Bataan Death March. The lack of a comprehensive list likely stems from the fact that many escaped during the march and were never accounted for.

The Bataan Death March took place after almost 75,000 Filipino and American troops became prisoners of war upon suffering a defeat to the Japanese on the Bataan Peninsula during World War II. The Japanese forced the prisoners to make a grueling 65-mile march to prison camps in high temperatures with very little food and water. Some prisoners managed to escape by blending in with locals, but thousands died before reaching camp.
