From the Recorder: August 10, 1944

In today's Ralston Recorder from August 10, 1944, we read that the Bakers have heard from their son, Wilmer N. Baker, Jr., for the first time since December. He had been held as a Japanese Prisoner of War since the fall of the Philippines in 1942. A previous post from March of this year covered his story in more detail.
