The Raid at Cabanatuan ( Filipino: Pagsalakay sa Cabanatuan), also known as the Great Raid (Filipino: Ang Dakilang Pagsalakay), was a rescue of Allied prisoners of war (POWs) and civilians from a Japanese camp near Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija, Philippines. On January30, 1945, during World War II, United States Army Rangers, Alamo Scouts and Filipino guerrillas liberated more than 500 from the POW camp. On the evening of January 27, the Rangers studied air reconnaissance photos and listened to guerrilla intelligence on the prison camp. [74] The twofive-man teams of Alamo Scouts, led by 1st Lts. William Nellist and Thomas Rounsaville, left Guimba at 19:00 and infiltrated behind enemy lines for the long trek to attempt a reconnaissance of the prison camp. [75] [76] [77] Each Scout was armed with a .45pistol, threehand grenades, a rifle or M1 carbine, a knife, and extra ammunition. [74] The next morning, the Scouts linked up with several Filipino guerrilla units at the village of Platero, 2 miles (3.2km) north of the camp. A new Type 31 HMS Campbeltown has been announced as part of the new "Inspiration class" of frigates for the Royal Navy, announced on 19 May 2021.

[2] They formed into a convoy of three lanes, with the destroyers in the middle. On arrival at St Nazaire the portside MLs were to head for the Old Mole to disembark their commandos, while the starboard lane would make for the old entrance to the basin to disembark theirs. Not having the range to reach St Nazaire unaided, the MTB and MGB were taken under tow by Campbeltown and Atherstone. [28]

Although they had organized twohospitals, ample food, and guards for this estimate, they were overwhelmed with over 72,000prisoners. [2] [3] By the end of the 60-mile (97-km) march, only 52,000prisoners (approximately 9,200American and 42,800Filipino) reached Camp O'Donnell, with an estimated 20,000 having died from illness, hunger, torture, or murder.

The total awards for the crews of the small boats were 44 decorations and 19 Mentions in Dispatches. [55] But it was far from mission accomplished. As historian Peter Stanley said, ‘everything else was secondary [to the destruction of Campbeltown] but everything else went wrong’. The small boats intended to take the unit home were largely destroyed, leaving many commandos stranded or forced to escape by other means.
