This is the best.

A 65-year-old correction in Friday’s New York Times.

Corrections

A caption on March 6, 1945, for a photograph distributed by The Associated Press that became one of the most widely published images from World War II, described the scene incorrectly, according to new information provided by The A.P.

The picture, showing captured Allied soldiers walking down a dirt road, bearing bodies in blankets hung from bamboo poles, was apparently taken after — not during — the Bataan Death March in April 1942, a forced six-day march of about 75,000 Americans and Filipino prisoners of war across the Philippines’ Bataan Peninsula. The A.P. corrected the information on Thursday after six months of research.

Information from military archivists, the National Archives and Records Administration, and surviving prisoners, strongly suggests that the photograph — taken by the Japanese and later confiscated by American forces — depicts a burial detail weeks after the march. In August, one of the survivors, now 87, questioned the accuracy of The A.P.’s caption, saying the picture was not of the actual march.

The Times published the picture at least one other time, on June 17, 2009, with a Books of The Times review about the march. The picture and a corrective article can be found at nytimes.com/lens.

Oddly, that did not appear on the Times Corrections page when I checked the paper’s website early Saturday morning.

You tell me.
