1 of 1619 Prisoners of War
aboard the "Hell Ship" ORYOKU MARU

(Memorial Day update: 010528)
Although earlier records identified the 19th Bomber Group,
further investigations by me now show that Lt. Wolf was attached
to the 27th Bombardment Group (L) , 91st Bombardment Squadron.
This information is from the very helpful folks at the
American Battle Monuments Commission - Manila,
which will be updating their database!
