Paul Kerchum was one of a kind. He laughed until his death at age 102. A remarkable feat considering he was a World War II Veteran who fought the Japanese in the Philippines. After the Allied troops surrendered, Paul was among the 75,000 prisoners of war forced to make the brutal Bataan Death March. Some 17,000 died trying. But Paul made it and then faced inhumane and unhealthy conditions in Japanese POW camps. He eventually found freedom and enjoyed a decorated career in both the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force. Binge with Baldrick host Thomas Baldrick shares stories of Paul Kerchum as well as an interview done in his home in Benson, Arizona.
