    Tom Corder asks for help

    My uncle Eugene S. Corder was captured at the fall of Corregidor and spent the remainder of the war in POW camps in The Phillipine Islands and Japan.   I believe he belonged to the 60th Coast Artillery on Corregidor.

    I know he was at Bilibid on a couple of occasions, Cabanatuan, Palowan (transferred there on 1-10-1944 and from there to Manila on 8-22-1944), from Manila to Japan on 10-1-1944, Sendai POW Camp in Japan; liberated 9-2-1945.

    He died December 5, 1988 in Marietta, Ohio.   His obituary said he belonged to your organization.   Do you have any records about deceased members?  

    I would appreciate any assistance you may be able to give.
