The museum writes that "some were blown apart by shells, some finding themselves in a hopeless situation were driven to suicide, some died of starvation, some succumbed to malaria, while others fell victim to the retreating Japanese troops."
O museo escribe que «moitos foron esnaquizados por proxectís, outros que se encontraban nunha situación desesperada foron conducidos ao suicidio, algúns morreron de fame ou sucumbiron á malaria, mentres que outros foron vítimas das tropas xaponesas en retirada.»
