    Joseph M. Hawes has Request

                My father was Milton D. Hawes.   He transferred from the CCC to the Army and trained at Camp Wallace, Texas.   He volunteered to go to the Philippines.   He was a Captain in the 59th Coast Artillery, and arrived on Corregidor in the fall of 1941.   He was in Cabanatuan #3 and later #1, and was then transferred to Lipa, near Batangas, where the men worked on building an airfield.

                Later, (details sketchy here) he was transferred to Japan via Formosa and was in Kawasaki when the war ended.

    Many thanks for your help.
