PFC. Glenn Griffith Ream Battery B 200th Coastal Artillery Regiment  After the surrender we went to Bilibid prison where Ackerman and Hofmeister shared our water jug and marched to Cabanatuan Group #2. I worked for Dr. Julian O. Long, formerly the Bernalillo County health officer in Albuquerque, N.M.
Early in 1944 I was sent to Las Pinas. After long hours leveling the airfield with a rice diet and watery soup, I put a pick through my foot.
On 1st of October 44 we left Manila on a hell-ship bound for Taiwan via Hong-Kong. We worked in cane fields and sugar mills from 18th of November 1944 till 19th of Jan 45, when we left and arrived in Japan 11 of Feb 45.
From 12th Feb until 20th of May 45 we were interned at Wakinohama (Kobe), thence to Maibara where my thigh became infected. Major F. E. McLaughin from the Indian Medical Service doctored my leg with penicillin which was dropped by a B-29.
On 9/14 I left Atsugi Airfield on a C-54 for Saigon, Honolulu and San Francisco. Written by Glenn G. Ream
He was awarded the Bronze Star
