Cabanatuan POW Camp Raid - looking for personal testimony

Hi Guys,

I am doing some research on behalf of someone and I am looking for some personal testimony of the raiders from 6th Rangers Battalion and the Alamo scouts who embarked on the POW raid of Cabanatuan with Filipino guerrillas.

I am looking for written or oral personal testimony, if anyone knows of an American museum or archive that hold this sought of thing; any info would be greatly received.

Many thanks

Brithm

bamboo43,

Thanks for this, great help! I am now looking for a deaf Canadian/Englishman Civilian POW Edwin Rose who was left behind while everyone left the camp.

Thanks again

Hi, i'm also researching the Cabanatuan raid and I was wondering if you found any personal testimony. If you have published anything on the raid I'd really like to read it.
