    The above list of American Guerrillas on Mindanao includes 19 men that escaped while they were POWs and eventually
joined the 10th Military Division.
    - October 1942 - Six POWs escaped from Palawan Barracks POW Camp at Puerto Princessa, Palawan.  Two of those men
        made their way south to Tawi Tawi Island by August 1943 and joined the 10th Military District.  While on Tawi Tawi
        Island, they met the eight Australians listed in Part II below.  These two Americans and seven (one had been killed on
        Tawi Tawi Island) Australians sailed on a small boat from Tawi Tawi to Mindanao in October 1943.  The two Americans
        are:
        + Bruce Gordon Elliott
        + Sidney T. Wright
    - April 4, 1943 - Ten POWs escaped from Davao Penal Colony on Mindanao.  All ten men found their way to guerrillas and
        joined the 10th Military District.  They are:
        ++ Lt. Leo A. Boelens
        ++ Lt. Michael Dobervich
        ++ Capt. William E. Dyess
        ++ Lt. Samuel C. Grashio
        ++ Lt. Jack Hawkins
        ++ Pfc. Paul H. Marshall
        ++ Lt. Cdr. Melvyn H. McCoy
        ++ Maj. Stephen M. Mellnik
        ++ Capt. Austin C. Shofner
        ++ Sgt. Robert B. Spielman
    - March 27, 1943 - Eleven men attempted an escape from Davao Penal Colony on Mindanao.  Six of them survived the
escape, found their way to guerrillas and joined the 10th Military District.  They are:
        +++ Andrew T. Bukovinski
        +++ Marvin H. Campbell
        +++ James D. Haburne
        +++ James E. Mc Clure
        +++ Hadley C. Watson
        +++ Mark M. Wohlfeld
    - June 14, 1944 - As POWs from Davao Penal Colony were being transported from Davao Penal Colony to Cebu City
aboard the Yashu Maru, one POW (Lt. Col. John  H. Mc Gee) jumped overboard when the ship passed Zamboanga.  He
contacted the 10th Military District; however he is not listed above, perhaps because he chose to be evacuated as soon
as possible.  He took charge of the survivors of the Shinyo Maru and went out with them on the USS Narwhal on September
29, 1944.  Another POW jumped overboard just as the Yashu Maru was leaving the northwest coast of Mindanao and joined
the 10th Military District .  He was:
