21801 | WV TEC5 Med Dept. 17 ORD CO WWII Richard Combs was a member of the 17th Ordnance Company. He was stationed in the Philippine Islands when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Ten hours later, he lived through the bombing of Clark Airfield. For four months, his unit worked to keep the tanks running of the Provisional Tank Group. For four months they slowed Japans conquest of the Philippines. Without food, without adequate supplies, and no hope of being relieved, he became a Prisoner of War on April 9, 1942, when Bataan was surrendered to the Japanese. He took part in the death march from Mariveles to Capas. There, 100 POWs were packed into small wooden boxcars that could hold 40 men or 8 horses. At San Fernando, the living left the boxcars and those who had died fell to the floor. The POWs walked the final miles to Camp ODonnell. As a POW, he was held at Camp ODonnell. The death rate in the camp was so high that the Japanese opened a new camp at Cabanatuan and transferred the healthier POWs there. He remained at Camp O'Donnell because he was too ill to be moved. He was one of the last POWs to die at the camp and was buried in the camp cemetery. After the war, his remains were identified and his family requested that they be returned to the United States. In October 1955, he was buried at Bethel Presbyterian Cemetery. | Combs, Richard A. (I41127)
