I would suspect very few if any where even in the march. The USA, England, Australia had very few blacks in the service at the time. The USA didn't really consider blacks iin the military until after the start of WW2 and the other two had close to none. The death march occured just after the attack on Pearl Harbor so it was very early in the war

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.

William Sniezko died last Tuesday in Eugene, OR. His family said he was the last survivor but I don't have any confirmation of that. **Actually that was an error the funeral home made in giving information to the press - should have been 'one of the last'.
