K.I.A., DOW Aid Station, Corregidor

Thursday, 22 Feb 1945

George Roberts died on the night of Feb. 21/22, 1945. About 10a.m., we were moving down a path toward what we thought was a mine storage cave. We were in a single file. After several men had passed a certain point and apparently missed the mine actuator George triggered it. His leg was blown off about halfway to his knee. His other leg was bleeding profusely, too.
