@@paullees6687 not that much. Captured after the fall of Corregidor,escaped from Bilibid,etc and I read Edwin Ramsey's book (Lt. Ramsey's War) where james was apponted as head of the H.Q. Security detachment of Ed's Guerilla group. James and his detachement held off a batallion of japanese troops to cover the withdarawal in the battle of Balagbag. One tough marine that refused to give up.🇵🇭🇺🇸 his story and many others like him need to be passed on to the next generation.

@@ryanvictoria6206 My grandpa was with him in the 4th marines. He wasn't able to escape so all I've heard or read was from the side of POW's. I've been getting more and more into the history of what happened, specifically the resistance side of the fighting. I'll hunt down "Lt. Ramsey's War." thanks.

@@paullees6687 Hi, Paul. I read your grandfather's book, "Soochow the Marine!" My father is Jesus Gonzalez, who was with his brother Moises Gonzalez when they rescued James jumping from the prison. This video is actually slightly incorrect. Please contact me and I will give you details.
