I’m trying to learn more about my father in law’s time in a Japanese prison camp in the Philippines and his escape from a sinking hell ship after it was struck by allied fighter or bomber planes in a Philippines bay. Gary Appel Traverse City, MI

Hello Gary,
Your father-in-law escaped the Japanese hell ship Oryoku Maru in Subic Bay on December 15, 1944, and later joined up with Philippine guerillas.
If you subscribe to Facebook, I suggest you join "The Battle of Bataan" webpage and send personal messages to James Erickson and Mark Kelso. They are the leading experts on this, and I'm certain they have much more information about him. If you would like their email addresses, send me a PM here and include your email address.
Best, Chad Hill
