Emory Schlick was in the bataan death March?

If you need to find someone that was part of the Bataan Death March the Filipino people have made a computer database of who was on that death march. You can contact that tourism board about the Bataan Death March victims. They have a national site there and an office of people who have the database records. I have added a web page to get you started on contacting them. There are databases of survivors here in the US but the entire database of the 75,000 people is in the Philippines. Do not worry about language problems. They speak and write English better than some of us Americans.
