    Pte. Oran Marshall .     US Army   from Breathitt, Kentucky, USA

    Oran Marshall spoke very little about his experiences as a prisoner of war, probably because he was unable to. He did say that it was a living hell, starved, beaten, and worked like a mule, with fellow prisoners killed alongside him. I would often see him staring into space for long periods of time, as if he was watching a movie of his terrible experiences which haunted him for the rest of his life.

    I am so happy to have known this great man, who was so kind and enduring, my hero, my Dad. I am glad to have found wartimememoriesproject.com., and have read a lot of the stories, maybe my father would have known some of the people mentioned in them.

As war progressed,he was despatched further afield to India, Burma, Dutch East Indies by way of North Africa and South Africa. He spent some time on the transAtlantic route and one Russian convoy to Archangel. He was involved in Normandy landings on LCI, but a couple of days after D-Day.
