Who surrendered the Allied ground forces on Bataan on April 9, 1942?

On April 9, 1942, Gen. Edward ("Ned") King, the U.S. commander of all ground troops on the Bataan Peninsula, surrendered the Allied forces under his command.1

Following 99 days of fighting, the Allied force—consisting of some 76,000 starving and ill-equipped Filipino and American troops—was forced to capitulate due to a lack of ammunition, food, and medical supplies. This surrender marked the beginning of the Bataan Death March, a brutal forced march of the prisoners to Camp O’Donnell.12
