    Will Walker has Request

    Through my research on my grandfather Raymond Walker, I have become interested in the unit he was in, Battery H (Geary) of the 59th Coast Artillery,
    and have decided I would like to write a book on the unit.

    I have contacted many guys from Battery Geary, all of the ones listed on your website, and a few others.   I am mainly looking for anyone who knew someone from Battery Geary on Corregidor or especially in the prison camps.

    Thank you for all of your help.
    Sincerely,
