1st.Sgt. Joseph Giles Pase
United States Army Signal Corps
from:Sussex County, Delaware
Sergeant Joseph Pase was captured during World War 2 and was a part of the Bataan death march before being sent to Kamioka POW camp. Luckily he kept a detailed diary of his life in the camp which has help historians locate which men were in the camp. He helped calm tensions between the different groups of POW inmates, and was an effective leader. However, my great great uncle died when on his way home after being rescued. Family members of the time recall hearing that he was under 100 pounds when rescued.
