My dad, Virgil Jackson (\\\"Jack\\\") Dorset, M.D., was captured by the Japanese on Bataan and survived the war to return to his family. He was a physician with the U.S. Army Medical Corps. I have in my possession original documents, correspondence and pictures. Does anyone remember him? EManning38@comcast.net

My Uncle Eddy Rotter was involved in the death march to the best of our knowledge.The family did get a wire from the war Dept. that he was a pow. One of my sisters has a box of his items but I can\\\'t find yet. He entered out of Chicago,Illinois. I need to know if all the men in the march were listed at a memorial.To Alf and your family thankyou for your service to our country.Thanks for any help finding info about my Uncle.

Hello..I am a 3rd year high school student and I\\\'m wondering if me and my groupmates could ask for permission in using the interview of Mr.Rick Peterson with Mr. Alf Larson. We have a project in our Social Studies subject and are wondering whether we could use your interview as our resource.We also have questions of our own, but we are hoping for your permission first. We hope you could give us a prompt reply. Thank you,

I am looking for information on Capt. Kenneth Paul Wetzel. He was medical personnel. He was killed possibly while trying to save POW\\\\\\\'s a Japanese prison ship and was part of the Death March before transfer to the prison ship. His sister Yvonne passed away at 95 taking much of the story with her. We would like to put the whole story together and if possible confirm one of the two accounts that appear in Naval records. Because if he did die trying to save POW\\\\\\\'s then he deserves his star. Thank you.

Re:
Everett Allred.
Yes, his ashes were returned to the US government and buried in the Manila American Cemetery. Go to the American Battle Monuments web search page:

My great uncle, Everett Allred survived the March of Bataan and died at Camp Hirahata. We have a letter from the Buddhist Priest at the Jugangi Temple, dated 1966, stating that his ashes were sent home. We had never known this. Does anyone know if this is actually true or if their ashes were left in Japan? I have the original letter and 2 contrived postcards from the camp. clynds@sbcglobal.net
