Steve G: tmayer, my dad passed when I was just 9 years old, so he never really talked in depth to me about his service. My understanding is that he really never did go into detail with anyone about it, as far as I ever heard.

FoCo NoCo Guy: Wild Bill Massello was my HS Calculus teacher '66-'67 in El Paso. Quiet, competent - never talked about his military service.

David Hyde: I have just added some photos by Scott Petrill taken in 1984 to my web page www.delahyde.com/lubang/pagesl/Grande_Island_Ex_Fort_Wint.html
and one of them resembles the image in: Zd874. The Fort Wint Switch Board Room (SBR) above. Is this correct? Feb 25, 2021 13:22:02 GMT 8

BLussier: I am the niece of Pvt. Robert D. Turner 13030357 listed as MIA on Corregidor. Still working with DPAA on Robert’s case. In the first entry on thread you mention a report and give info from Col. (Chaplain) Boerman that references cremating bodies in tunnel

BLussier: Is it possible to get a copy of that report? DPAA analyst never heard this before. I read the same info in a book. It was reported by a doc in the tunnel. Unfortunately I did not write the book title/ author info so can not use that info as evidence this

chadhill: Bobbye Turner Lussier: Try this link to a 10 page FB post I made on the subject. I don't see Pvt Turner's name but he could be one of the unknowns mentioned. It references Borneman's letter. www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=669228826984753&set=gm.250860
