Maj. Gary Blagburn, the provost marshall at Camp Atterbury, crossed the finish line first with a time of 2:20:32 during the Bataan Memorial Death March tryouts at Camp Atterbury Joint Maneuver Training Center Nov. 23. The actual Bataan Memorial Death March took place in the Philippines in 1942 during World War II where 75,000 American and Filipino prisoners of war were captured by the Japanese and forced to endure a 61-mile march during which 25 to 28 percent of the POWs were killed or died of disease, starvation, dehydration, heat prostration and/or untreated wounds.
