In late 1945, a just-liberated POW named Jack Aldrich discovered something: his brother Bobby – who Jack thought was dead – had also survived imprisonment.

5 years earlier, Jack and Bobby joined the US army – together; Bobby lying about his age to get in. They trained together at Ft. Bliss, Texas, and fought together on Bataan.

They then – together – marched the Bataan Death March and experienced the atrocities of Japan’s POW camps in The Philippines.

Only then, they were separated – and their true struggles for survival began.

This is their survivors’ story.
