| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - The author of this book was a US Navy Pharmacist's Mate assigned to Cañacao Naval Hospital in Cavite and slated to return to the US on December 8, 1941. The outbreak of war cancelled his orders, and instead he stayed on in the Philippines, witnessed the bombing of Cavite and tended to the wounded there. He was later attached to the 4th Marine Regiment (which had just arrived from China), and was in Corregidor with the marines until the surrender. He remained in Corregidor with a few other Navy doctors until September, and then was transferred to Bilibid prison and then to Cabanatuan. There he stayed, working with the medical staff (without medicine) in attempting to care for sick POWs. In December 1944 he was aboard the infamous hell ship, the Oryoku Maru, but managed to survive this ship's sinking (by American planes), and was taken to Japan in two other harrowing prison ships. He was liberated in Mukden, Manchuria. Stamp lists all the US Navy medical personnel who were in the Philippines in 1941, and groups them into who survived and who did not. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
