FLOYD CO TIMES, Jan 1, 1948 Martin, Ky
RELEASE OF JAPS' PRISONERS BRINGS JOY, HOPE TO COUNTY Floyd County had its intimate share in the nationwide wave of thankfulness arising with the news that American prisoners had been liberated on Luzon. One Floyd soldier was released in the heroic commando raid by American Rangers and Filipino guerillas last week which freed 513 American prisoners, survivors of the Bataan's "March of Death" after the fall of Corregidor, and a nurse, a sister of a Floyd county man, was liberated a few days later, from San Tomas internment camp in Manila as McArthur's forces dashed into the capital of the Philippines. The soldier now among friends and freed Jap cruelty is Pvt. Lawrence Robinson, son of Robert Robinson, of Wayland, and a member of the famed 31st Infantry whose survivors were taken from Corregidor on its fall as prisoners. The nurse is Lieut. Ruby Bradley, 37, Spencer, W.Va., sister of Smith Bradley, Prestonsburg, who was one of the 11 nurses taken prisoner on Bataan. Anxiously awaiting the day when word will come that their sons are released are Mr. & Mrs. W.J. Reynolds, Martin, parents of J.B. (Bud) Reynolds, a medical corpsman on Corregidor at its fall, and Mr. & Mrs. J.E. Walters, of Emma, parents of Seaman Wyman Walters, also taken prisoner on the Phillippines after his ship had been bombed. Letters received by these parents, however, indicate that their sons have been removed to the Japanese mainland. Another Wayland soldier, Fred Williams, was taken prisoner by the Japanese but died in April, 1942, his father J.W. Williams, was notified. Father of Pvt. Robinson, a miner at Wayland, could not be reached for an interview, but The Times was assisted by Noble Hobbs there in gaining an insight into his reaction to the news that his son was safe and at last in a American hands. Mr. Robinson was notified by the American Red Cross in a wire from Lexington that his son had been liberated. He was characteristically reticent. "I didn't work the next day," he quietly remarked. Lieut. Bradley, the nurse freed from internment in Manila, has visited her brother, an employee of the Columbian Fuel Corporation here, several times. An Army nurse since she was graduated from Walter Reed hospital, Washington, D.C., 19 years ago, she was sent to the Philippines in 1938 and was superintendent of nurses at Camp Hay hospital in Manila at the time she deliberately remained behind to care for the wounded as the Japs closed in on the city.
