------------------
The Mighty Eighth Roll Of Honor, lists Henry H. Jones, 16 Feb 43, as a POW and does not show he died in captivity. However, other books may show otherwise.

Moofy and others will be providing you much more information very soon, I suspect.

If you will copy me, what they do not post, I will conduct a search here in the USA for you, to see if he is still alive. Even if he is not, he will probably have family as interested in finding out as much as they can, as you are are.
