If I cross-referenced the information correctly, the Bataan Death March was happening when Corregidor fell...

Yup that is correct. My math teacher is junior high school (all three years) was on Corregidor when it fell. He spent his war years in a Manchurian prisoner of war camp. His stories were chilling.
Here’s to you Mr. Mulholland.

According to my notes the Death March took place in the three days following the surrender of Bataan. April 10-12, 1942.

We’re the Battling Bastards of Bataan,
No mama, no papa, no Uncle Sam,
No aunts, no uncles, no cousins, no nieces,
No pills, no planes, no artillery pieces,
And nobody gives a damn!
