Victims of the Palawan Massacre
VICTIMS OF THE PALAWAN MASSACRE This list is the culm ination to date of exhaustive research done with documents from the National Archives. It appears that a final resolution of all victims was never made. The survivors of the massacre provided invaluable information to the fullest extent possible. It is known that Japanese captors murdered 139 prisoners of war on Dec. 14, 1944 in the city of Puerta Princessa on the island of Palawan. The first list is the name, rank (where possible), branch of service, and hometown (where possible) of 133 victims. The documentary evidence for these men is overwhelming. The second list of eight men are those where the evidence is contradictory. As late as 1952, attempts were being made to account for all the victims.

Jordan UT 84095 ARNOLDY, Arthur Anton Corp USMC Tipton, Kansas This man's serial number belonged to BAKER, Herbert. Baker's next of kin notified. BAKER, Herbert Army No death certificate was issued to my knowledge but his name does appear on the headstone of the mass grave in St. Louis MO. BAKER, John 1. Army A death certificate was found with the others, but a list from 1952 states that he was evacuated to the U. S. 12 Sept. 1945, then killed in an auto accident 3 Dec. 1945. MULLINS, Levi D, Jr. Army This man appears on many lists but a letter written in 1948 states that he was returned to military control. RAY or REA, Harry Francis Army Same as Mullins SHALLEY (SEALLEY?), Charles Earl Army This man appears on every list but there is no death certificate and his name is not on the headstone. (Many names are not on the headstone because some of the families requested remains to be interred in family burial plots.) SNYDER, Cecil J. Army I have not found a death certificate but his name is on the headstone and some of the lists. SNYDER, Robert Q. Army Same as Mullins WILLIAMS, Bill USMC There is some evidence that this is a nickname for one of the other Williams that is on the first list. Page 3 of 3
