Today is March 12, 2014. My husband reminded me that on March 11, 1942, General Douglas MacArthur and his family were evacuated from Corregidor Island in the Philippines to Australia. His command was turned over to General Jonathan Wainwright. Soon after the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, the Philippines were also attacked. My father, Jacob Johler had arrived in Fort Mills, Corregidor early in 1941. On December 2, 1941 he became part of a searchlight battery that traveled back and forth between Bataan and Corregidor. He was on the Bataan Peninsula when it fell to the Japanese on April 9, 1942; at which time he was sent back to Corregidor. On May 6 when Corregidor was surrendered to the Japanese, U.S. Army T/Sgt. Jacob Johler was on Battery Way. It was here that his actions earned him the Silver Star. I include his affidavit that was written after his liberation from prison camp as well as diary entries that confirm his presence on Bataan and his return to Corregidor on April 9, 1942
