Stanford, Orville R,1lt,O&2031870,QMC,CA
Captured at Battann, Surived the death march, Torpedoed in route to Japan, Recaptured by fishermen, Tortured at Shinagawa, sabatoged Jap Mfg equipment he was force to set-up. Returned to Tokyo for the WCT's and made sure the Japs who tortured so many ended up on the end of a rope. Here are the men who were made into slaves, some be-headed, many starved, Since Grandpa was the ranking officer and news was out he was captive thanks to a OZ ham radio operator they only broke both his legs with 4' Cast Iron fire thongs. http://www.mansell.com/pow_resources...al_roster.html But he made it home..Never gave up fighting....... He won his war and I'm proud of him. Joe |
