Flu (or influenza) is caused by a common virus that can affect your nose, throat and lungs. Itâs sometimes referred to as âseasonal fluâ because it tends to occur at around the same time every year. In the UK, people usually get flu between December and March though outbreaks can occur as early as October and as late as May.
On January 30, 1945, during World War II, United States Army Rangers, Alamo Scouts, and Filipino guerrillas liberated more than 500 from the POW camp. After the surrender of tens of thousands of American troops during the Battle of Bataan, many were sent to the Cabanatuan prison camp following the Bataan Death March.
By July of 1942, about 1300 men of Camp 1 had died and 32 at Camp 3 passed away. For the men at Cabanatuan who were gravely ill, a hospital existed, but it was just made up of wood frame shacks with bamboo shelves for beds. This hospital was located in the southern third of Camp 1.
