On this, the tenth anniversary of the founding of the American Defenders of Bataan and Corregidor,
Inc., I wish to thank the founders in having the foresight to form our organization. The perseverance,
faith and good fellowship of our members ' through these years has molded together an organization of
which we should all be proud. We have grown in both numbers and prestige.
We have been instrumental in having legislation passed which has benefited not only our members but
also the veterans in general. We are proud of our contact with our deceased buddies through their families,
wives, and the Gold Star Mothers.
The future of our organization is in the hands of each member. Do your part, cooperate with your
officers, you will be the one to benefit through a better A.D.B.C. I wish to thank all the officers who have
worked so hard the past two years to give the members the best results possible. Thanks, gentlemen.

SATURDAY, MAY SEVENTH, NINETEEN HUNDRED FIFTY-FIVE
On the next few pages you will find the events that havetakn place in
the last ten years in the lives of the men and women who fought in the
Defense of the Philippine Islands.
I believe we have acquired many qualities through the years of hardship that we endured together during W orId War II-the meaning of Will
power, tolerance, the ability to forgive, the understanding of God's will
and His ways, knowing how to wait, knowing how to share, and knowing
how to get along with our fellow man regardless of race, c'Olor, or creed.
Therefore, for those who are gone, our wounded and incapacitated
comrades, for the mothers, wives and dear ones who have suffered, this
book is respectfully dedicated.
SAM MOODY
History of the Year 1946
In January 1946 a few of the Project·J men who were stationed at
Lovell General Hospital, Fort Devens,
Massachusetts, talked about fOrming
an organization made up of the men
and women who had been POW's together. This was over a few beers one
day, over the Mess Hall tables the next,
and in the hospital wards at night.
After getting the basic idea, a meeting was called at the Base Theater for
all ex-POW's to discuss the idea. From
that day, with a meeting of about 80
ex-POW's, the American Defenders of
Bataan and Corregidor was born.
The following is an extract ,from the
Lowell Sun, Lowell, Massachusetts,
dated 28 January 1946. This story tells
as near as we can find out the start of
the American Defenders of Bataan and
Corregidor:
" A few days ago in a Main Street
law office of this old New England
community, was born one of the most
unusual and unquestionably the most
exclusive organization to come out of
the maelstrom of World War IiI, and
with it came a first hand account of one
of the epics of world history - the def ense of Bataan and Corregidor and
the infamous "Death March on Bataan"
as told by American soldiers who participated in and miraculously came
through it all.
The organization 'The American Defenders of Bataan and Corregfdor, Inc.'
whose organizers were prompted by
the loftiest of motives to band together
the survivors of the immortal defense
of continental America's outer-Pacific
outposts, deemed it fitting that the
town of Ayer, from where some of the
finest fighting men of World War IT
left to enter the ultimately victorious
battle against the ruthless forces of the
Axis powers, should be its legal birthplace.
For through this town passed :threequarters of a million of New England's
youth as raw recruits on their way for
induction at Fort Devens. and here was
heard the tread of marching feet of
the "Fighting First", 26th Yankee, 32nd
and 45th Infantry divisions. In this
town also daily hurry hundreds of
these same New England youths on
their way home with the coveted discharges won after varying periods of
. service in all theatres of war, and
through here have passed the warweary, the wounded and the sick on
their wav to the Lovell General Hospital at Fort Devens to continue the
seemingly endless battle for the good
health which it seems only yesterday
they had enjoyed.
Among this latter group are 200 New
F'1gland survivors of the Bataan Death
March from whom as they lay on painwracked beds at the Lovell General
( 3)
Hospital, or walked around its spacious
grounds as they gradually were gaining the strength stolen ·from them by
their infamous captors - came the
idea that matured into being in the
law office of World War I, veteran
and past commander of the Groton
Post, American Legion, Ralph B. Bowmar. To him they entrusted the details
of making certain their organization
was legally incorporated and they were
free to carry on for ,t hose 'who didn't
come through, and that their dependents never would want.'''
It was decided by the first officers
that the first: cOillventlon would be held
in Boston and everyone would bring
their famllles and friends. On April 9,
1946 ~t the . iHotel Bradford, Boston,
Massachusetts, one of the greatest conventions ever held by any group returning from World War tr was conducted. The State of Massachusetts
made April the 9th ''Hataan Day" and
.!!'av,~ all the kids a day off from school.
The city put on one of the greatest parades ever seen past or present
Major General Edward P. King Jr., our
Honorary Commander, led the parade
witnessed by 500,000 people. After the
parade, in which over 750 exJp()W's
marched, a dinner· dance was held at
the Hotel Bradford with about 1300
gueSts attending.

Anyone who went will tell you it was
great. People talk abOut '1t when they

gather around to swap war stories.
A few of the members who gave us
a helping hand when we first started
were· Dom Giantonio, Larry Martel, Ed
Martel, Hank Sanochi, Bill Sniezko,
John Hatch, Jimmy McCarthy, Hank
Wilayto, Stinky Stankistis, Sgt. Prince
of the USMC and his wife, Harriet, Ray
Morgan, Colonel Kostechi, George Picerillo, Harold Spooner, Sam Moody,
Earl (Killer) Kane, Everett Roseen,
Mike Tardivo.
In 1946 we had the help of one civil·
ian and most people who knew him
will agree he was a wonderful guy. Although he wasn't in the service, Cy
Stewart will always be remembered
by the gang from 1946 as being a great
person.
If I have missed giving credit to any·
one else who had helped make the
1946 convention a success, please for·
give me as 10 years is a long time and
I may have unconsciously overlooked
some of the names.
SAM MOODY
1946 Convention Chairman
History of the Year 1947
As I pore through my files, memories
keep crowding each other - forcing
me back to those hectic days when the
turbulent rush of events kept us hopping prior to the eventful day of April
9, 1947.
I remember the "old faithful guard"
that rallied round the first National
office at 120 Boylston Street - Helen
(Cassiani) Mester, who spent many an
hour keeping all of us hopping, Frank
Margiotto, Simme Kickman, Johnny
Ray, Bob Doyle, Nick Metta, Ray Morgan, Jim McEvoy and a host of others
_ all putting their shoulder to the
task that almost got out of hand.
Some of the old timers may remember that the second convention was originally planned for Washington, D. C.
but, with the committee in Boston,
Washington was too far away to do
any kind of a fair job at all. At the
same time the hotels were already
spoken for the week of the 9th.
Jim McEvoy, after a fiying trip to
the Capital, decided that Boston w()uld
be a better choice. So·o·o the members
trooped back to the City of the Bean
and the Cod and we had a rip·roaring
meeting that kept people pro and con·
ning for a many a day afterward.
When I look back upon those days,
I think the men elected to lead OUe
organization gave added meaning to
the theme of the convention - ·'Pres·
tige."
The following day the Boston Herald carried this account of the activities:
"Five years from the day he surrendered Bataan to the Japanese, Maj..Gen.
Edward P . King of Atlanta, Ga., was
elected national commander of the
American Defenders of Bataan and
Corregido'T vesterday afternoon by 300
delegates of the heroic gTOUP's second
national conevntion in the City Club.
After the organization's business was
completeld, he reviewed mechanIzed
cavalry troops on the Common as the
Army paid tribute on Bataan Day.
These are the men who started the American Defenders of Bataan and Corregidor
on the 25th of January 1946 at the Lovell General Hospital at Fort Devens, Mass.

In a stormy session members of the
group voted to set up an organization

year's convention in Albuquerque
N. M. It indorsed a pending bill t~
set up a reparations commission to dem and damages from the Japanese
government fOT the agonies suffered
by the men and women of Bataan and
Corregidor.
At last night's banquet, Gen . King
called for a strong military force to
prevent any posibility of another war.
. '~ call on you to alert your fellow
cltlzens who are less informed than
you,' Gen. King said. 'Our people and
p~ess cry out for peace, believing that
WIth the invention of wonderful new
weapo~s we shall never have to fight
defensIvely again:
'~o ma~ who has been in a war will
behev~ thIS for a minute_ The trained
man IS the basis of national defense
from the bow and arrow to the atom:
Weapons change. Men change from
freedom to slavery as they lose the
courage and spirit to defend their
. country.'
Other speakers included Rep. John
McCormack, James F. Reynolds, commander of the Massachusetts Veterans
of Foreign Wars, and representatives
o~ Gov. B:adford, Mayor Curley, the
FIrst SerVIce Command and the First
Naval District."

History of the Year 1948
The Third Annual Convention was
held at the Hotel Commodore New
York City, on April 8 and 9, 1948.'Major
Ray Morgan was the Convention Chairman .
It was at this convention that after
three years of trying to really get a
National Organization started that we
turned to more serious nature of business. Dues were raised from $1.00 to
$3.00 a year in order to keep our organization going.
The additional
amO'Unt in dues was necessary to help
put out the "Quan", answering corresoondence, and to keep the club going
in general. It was voted at the convention to make the "Quan" a monthly
newspaper.
The follOwing officers were elected
at the 1948 Convention: Simme Pickman. National Commander; Robert
Doyle, Vice-Commander; Frank Margiotto, Secretary; George Piccirillo,
Treasurer; James E . Brennan, Adjutant.
Members of the New England Chapter take part in parade at Boston, Mass., in 1948
The main banquet was held in the
main ball room of the Commodore
Hotel on the 9th of April with over
500 ex-POWs and their families being
present,
One of the highlights of the Convention was when General King and about
20 other members were guests of the
Ringling Brothers Circus at the Madison Square Garden. A really good time
was had by all.

History of the Year 1949
The Fourth Annual Convention was
held at the Hotel Ambassador, Atlantic
City, N. J.
IAt the business meeting, the members called for enactment by Congress
of bills sponsored by ,t he Truman Administration to give American servicemen $1 a day for each day spent in a
prisoner of war camp. They also adopted resolutions supporting the Presi-
TENTH ANNIVERSARY
dent's civil rights program and urging
the United States government to take
all possible steps to strengthen the
United Nations.
Simme Pickman of Lynn, Mass. was
r elected Commander. Other officers
chosen included : Albert Senna of New
Brunswick, N. J ., Vice Commander,
Frank Margiotto of Medford, Mass.,
secr etary ; George Piccirillo of Newtonville, Mass., treasurer, Harold Brennan
of Atlant ic City, N. J., Adjutant, Robber t Levering, Mount Vernon, Ohio,
Judge Advocate, Perry O. Wilcox of
Elmira, N . Y. and Herman Baumann
of Pittsburgh, Chaplains.
The speakers during the annual dinner included Generals King and Bleumel, Sen. Frank S. Farley and Congressman T . Millet Hand of New
Jersey.
This convention turned out to be one
of our biggest conventions · - maybe
because Atlantic City is a convention
town or maybe in 1948 everyone just
felt like having a get-together. Ex- _
POWs came from all over the country.
One plane load came all the way from
Oklahoma. The parties that were
thrown that April weekend will long
be the talk of the Ambassador Hotel
Al Senna was Convention Chairman
and he and his committee made the
Atlantic City Convention one of the
best reunions we have had.
History of the Year 1950
The 1950 National Convention of the
American Defenders of Bataan and
Corregidor was held at the William
Penn Hotel, Pittsburgh, Penn. It was
my pleasure to be appointed chairman
of the Convention Committee.
The following members formed the
nucleus of my committee Joe iVeter,
Moe Mazer, Bob Levis, Bob Adams,
Stan Korczyk, Bob Neil, Joe Glessner,
and Stan Patrick. Also the cooperation
of the National officers was greatly
aporeciated.
I am quite proud to review some 01
the more interesting events of the 1950
convention as I still receive comments
on the good time had by the members.
Friday evening we introduced something new to entertain :the guests.
Through the cooperation of Post 5 of
the Americcm Legion in Pittsburgh we
had free refreshments, food and entertainment.
Sunday morning through the cooneration of the Pittsburgh Ford dealers
the Gold Star Mothers, wives and
g-uests were taken on a sightseeing
tour of the city. As the guests were
enjoving the tour, the members were
electing Mr. Al Senna as National Commander and selected Philadelphia as
thp. sit p of the 1951 convention.
The banauet S aturdav evening was
very well attended, approximatelv 525
members and guests were in attendancp.. Through the courtesy of Mr. O.
D . Robinson all the ladies received a
beautiful corsage and at each plate
wa s a cocktail. After the dinner and
after t he many guests were Introduced,
we w ere favored by several fine talks.
A feature of the evening- was a good
"ribbing- skit'· bv Luke Barnett. Then
came th'e fioor show - one that won't

be forgotten by anyone present. About
ten acts of the finest entertainment on
the American Stage Al Morgan,
The Deep Rhythm Boys, to mention a
few. This show was directed by Marge
Nelson, a Pittsburgh theatrical agent.
Dancing followed after the show.
It is quite obvious this program
could not have been possible without
the cooperation of many men outside
our organization, a few of whom were
Dr. Stevenson, Mayor [jawrence, Mr.
O. D. Robinson, Oliver Kaufman, the
Allegheny Council of Veteran Organizations and many other prominent
Pittsburgers.

convention, he wrote to all his friends,
urging them to attend.
Others who helped to make the convention a success were: Edward Smack,
James V. Kiernan, Robert Levis, Morton Feinberg, Eugene McCann, George
E . Wills, Grant Thomas, Robert J.
Russell, John Banach, Norman T. Scott,
Joseph Goodman, M/ Sgt. John Krisopovitz, and Samuel Blank.
Thanks was also given to Col. Charles
A. McLaughlin , Re t., Coordinator of
Committees, Robert W . Levering,
Chairman 01' the Resolutions Committee, and to Rev. John McNicholas and
Father Herman C. Baumann, the Convention Chaplains.
History of the Year 1951
The 1952 Convention 'held in Columbus, Ohio in May 2, 3, and 4 was written off as a complete success considering the fine attendance of some 350
members and families and also the organization handled b y convention chairman Mike Dunn.
The town knew we had arrived and
treated us as we have been so gratefully accepted in past convention cities.
The convention in general was orderly
and enjoyed by all. An innovation that
year was the Memorial ceremonies held
in front of the Ohio State Legislature
Bldg. on Saturday afternoon with several noted Ohio officials present honoring our past war dead.
A significant number of Gold Star
Mothers traveled many miles to be
with us, many who have n ever missed
a convention.
Our banquet, held in the main ballroom of the Deshler-Wallick Hotel,
was highlighted by a speech made by
Honorable John J . Dempsey, congressman from New Mexico, in which he
cited the great importance for all O'f
us to continue in the national fight
against communism.
The convention began Friday, the
day ending with a get-together dance
and party at the main Columbus American L egion Post a s our hosts.
The 1951 Convention was held in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel with approximately 600 persons in attendance. The Convention Committee was headed by
J'a mes Cavanaugh.
The guest speaker at the convention
was Retired Marine Brigadier General
James P . S. Devereux, who was Commanding Officer of the Wake Island
Detachment. First Defense Battalion
during the heroic but futile defense of
Wake Island from December 8 to 23,
1941. His speech was broadcast over a
national hook-up.·
One of the toughest jobs of any convention is raising money. That year
Louis Goldstein, who was Chairman of
the Finance Committee, covered the
assignment magnificently. Lew collected over $1400.00 alone and as a result
of his efforts and those of James Cavanaugh, Louis Slattery, General Bluemen, Joseph Goodman, and Jimmy
Kiernan, the price of the tickets was
heM to a minimum.
The success of any affair or organization deoends a lot upon an able secretary. This 10b was handled very well
by Gilbert B . Soifer. In addition to
answering all the mail concerning the

History of the Year 1953
The Eig h th Annual Convention was
held on May 1, 2, and 3, 1953 at the

made up of Edward E. Thomas, Walter
E. Scott, J ack G. Versluis, Julius D.
G:: n dzar, Walter E . Ston e, Harold J.
Whitcomb. These six f ellows did a fine
job of m a king the coiwention a success.

who gave a wonderful address to our
members .
The Mayor of Grand Rapids made

History of the Year 1954
Brig. Gen. Carlos P. Romulo, special
Philippine representative in the United
States, was the principal speaker at the
Ninth Annual Convention.
He described the defense of Dienbienphu in Indo-China against Communist Viet Minh rebels as "the 1954
version of Bataan". He said that although Bataan fell to the Japanese,
it was really a victory for the United
States because "America still retained the loyalty of the native population" . This loyalty w as earned by
"America's promise of independence"
to the Philippines, he said. "But if
Dienbienphu falls, it will be a tragic defeat for the free world."
Following General Romulo's address,
he unveiled the memorial plaque.
The following Officers were elected
at the business meeting: Joseph A.

Vice Comander, Harry ilVIenozzi, Treas urer , Tony Greco, Jr., Vice·Commander, Kenneth Stull, Secretary, Kenneth

On Friday evening a real "wing

in New York City. Everything was
furnished by the Convention Committee, including refreshments, floor show,
dancing and even door prizes. A bottle
of San Miguel Beer was presented to
each man present as a souvenir of the
Convention. It was a read 'g ood convention and the 1954 committee deserved a real vote of thanks for a great
job. The committee included IAl Senna,
Tony Greco, Austin Patrizzo, and
George Challie.

1954 Convention Chairman
History of the Year 1955
It seems the older the organization
gets the busier it becomes. The year
1955 was one of small headaches and
wishful thinking by some, but your
National organization headed by Joe
Vater came through with a great convention held at the Hotel Bradford,
Boston, Massachusetts on the 5th, 6th,
and 7th of May 1955. M/Sgt. Samuel
Moody USAF was the Convention
Chairman assisted by Simme Pickman,
Hank Wilayto, Johnny Ray, Nick Metta, Forrest Auld, and ,H arry Liskowski.
The three day affair was attended
by about 500 ex-POW's and their fam·
ilies.
During the past ten years, it seems
we have grown up a little, because
in the spring of 1955, the United States
Air Force asked our organization to
assist it with one of its National Projects. In February 1955, our organization appointed a National Ground
Observer Corps Committee to assist
the USAF. About 20 members volunteered to serve on the first committee,
including your National Commander.
At the National Convention in Boston,
Major General Irving of the United
States :Air Force gave the members a
briefing on the Air Defense system of
the United States. He caliled upon those
members of our organization not on
active duty to help sell the defense of
our contry to their friends and neighbors.
On Friday prior to the main banquet,
a "Quan" party was held in the Governor Bradford Room of the Hotel
Bradford. A floor show, dancing, free
refreshments and door prizes were
enjoyed by all.
On Saturday evening 7th of May, the
main banquet was a little more on the
quiet side with the renewing of old
friendships with members who just
came in to attend the main reunion.

Mother and six Fathers have died since
our organization was founded. We hold
our meetings at the Y.M.C.A. in Boston
or sometimes at different homes, with
a tea or luncheon. We have a Christmas
party each year and a picnic In the
summer.
Some of the Mothers have attended
every Convention since the Boston Convention in 1946. This event is a high
light for the Gold Star Mothers, who
look forward to meeting "Our Boys"
and their families.
The Gold Star Mothers extend their
wishes for good health and prosperity,
and their gratitude for all your courtesies to the American Defenders of
Bataan and Corregidor.

War Crimes Trials
The m en who went back to Tokyo,
for the War Trials will t ell you about
them, if you ask them. The City of
Tokyo will never be the same again
after the year and a half that the
members of the American Defenders
of Bataan and Corregidor spent there
as War Crimes witnesses. It was, with·
out a doubt, the biggest, longest, and
strangest affair ever held by a group
of ex·POW's.
The first ex·POW's started to arrive
back in Tokyo the early part of Decem·
ber 1946 and the last did not leave
until late fall of 1948.
Many of the ex·POW's lived in a
home called the Ito House, about 5
miles out of Tokyo. The house had
about 27 rooms with large and beauti·
ful grounds surrounding the area. It
was here the ex·POW's held the most
talked about lawn and quan parties
ever held in Japan.
Don't think that this was just a
wild vacation, because the ex·POW's
worked - and worked hard. Hundreds
of Japanese were brought to trial. The
ex-POW's testified at their trials, and
all who were guilty were punished, some
severely. No ex·guards or Japanese
officers who were guilty of any atrocities
were allowed to go free until they had
been brought t o trial.
It is sincerely believed that the ex·
POW's who went back to testify at
the ' Trials did a great deal of good to
bring about a Peace Treaty. It was said
that in the short time the ex·POW's
lived at the Ito House, more candy and
chewing gum were passed out to Japan·
ese children, the ex·POW's clothed
more ragged children, played more base·
ball, and stopped more Japanese from
being beat up by young GI's who were
too young to fight in WWII, than all
the M.P.'s together.
About 50 ex· POW's went back to
Japan to help testify at the Trials
dtirfng the early part of 1947, the
Japanese at Yokiichi built a memorial
to ' all the Americans who passed away
there during the war. A number of ex·
POW's went down for the ceremonies
Col. Montgomery was Officer in
Charge, with Major Short, Barney Grill,
Dominick Prosperio, Sam Moody, Har·
old Dinsmore, and Sgt. Coxey - just
to name a few of the men who went
to the ceremonies. A wreath of flowers
was ,placed on the monument by Col.
( 10 )
Major accused Jap'a nese war criminals,
on trial before the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, enter
War Ministry building, Tokyo, Japan,
for opening session of their tria ls.
Mont gomery and Sgt. Moody on behalf
of the American Defenders of Bataan
and Corregidor.
This was just one of the many events
that the ex·POW's held in Japan. On
9 April 1947 one of the biggest military
gatherings ever held in the Far East
was a get·together of all ex·POW's at
the American Club in Tokyo. The pro·
ceeds of this affair were sent back to
the Main Office of the ADBC to help
buy the Gold Star Mothers' unifol'IJ.ls.
A few of the m embers who helped at
the War Trials were: Col. Montgomery,
Col. Flineau, Major Short, M/Sgt. Joe
Pace, Capt. Forbes, Col Swartz, M/Sgt.
Barney Grill, M/Sgt. Dom Prosperio,
M /Sgt. Jim Laird, M / Sgt. Tyler, T/ Sgt.
Jack Bell, Lt. Britton, Eugene Clerec,
Donald Ingle, Baker Austin, Lt. Ted
Leitz, T / Sgt. Ernie Wilkinson.
Most of the men gave up a year or
more of their lives to go back to Japan
to bring to trial the Japanese who had
committed crimes against Americans.
They also gave up chances for promo·
tions, readjustment of grades and good
assignments as Project J men. The two
week vacation in Florida was also
passed up by most of these witnesses
to help bring the War Trials to a speedy
close. So if they only tell you about
the good side, also remember the other
side and what they gave up to do their
share to bring to a close the chapter of
history marked "Bataan and Corregi·
dor".

TENTH ANNIVERSARY
On the following pages you will find
the names of the members Who were
kind enough to fill out the "Yearbook
Information Sheet" and mail it in.
On most of the forms the message
was about the same - "that all memo
bers would like to hear from former
friends and also that their homes are
always open to ex"POW's who might
be passing through". In the event that
your message does not appear it is
only because about 80 percent of the
messages were the same. We do hope
that this year you will make an effort
to renew old friendships with your
former buddIes and friends.
