    Jude Ford has request:

    I am seeking information on TEC4 Vernon A. Martin, Unit: 808 MP CO, From South Dakota.   He died July 3, 1942 in one of the death camps after the Bataan Death March.   He is buried in the American Cemetery just outside Manila.

    I am looking for anyone who possibly knew him.   He was my Great Uncle.   I am writing his Biography.   The Battling Bastards of Bataan are the ones who found his grave for me.   They have made me a next of kin member.   I hold Major Gordon and all of them in high respect.

    Would appreciate any help.
    Sincerely,
    Jude A. Ford jaford@qosi.net
