My cousin, Wilbur Pickett of Wesson, Ms. survived the march and more than five years in the death camp. Although he returned home to marry and have children, he never recovered and committed suicide .
My wife's Uncle John Henry Spigler Capt. US. Army Was at Corregidor. He was listed as missing. In all of our research we have not been able find if he was killed at Corregidor or on the death march. We hope that there might be a chance that Mr. Tenney might have known Uncle John however slight it might be. His wife name was Virginia and they were from Salam OR.
You will be happy that you at least got back from Bataan Lester! We know what US (white) soldiers did to Filipinos. US used Filipino soldiers as protection of whites, Filipino was always the front line to battle against Japan. Bataan March was only 120KM! Big deal! Japan never expected that 70000 US soldiers were going to give up and become POW. Should have fought to the end, Mr. Lester Tenney!!
