    I am a cousin of SSG Edward "Barney" Rapp who was a prop specialist with the 16th Squadron of the 27th Bombardment Group (L).   He survived the Death March and was killed on 6 June, 1942 while on a work detail out of O'Donnell at a place called Tarlac.

    I am interested in any information I can get concerning Edward or the unit.
    Thank you very much for your help.

    Sincerely,
    Michael Rapp
