ClintwoOd Boy
Among First
Liberated

Relatives and friends of Will
liam E. Sutherland, of Clintwood,
are pleased to learn that he is at
liberty from Jap prison camp,
where he has been confined since
the American forces were forced
to surrender at Corregidor over
thee years ago.
News dispatches ay that
young Sutherland and three 9TH
er American prisoners boldly
walked from the prison camp at
Kobe last week after they had
learned that Allied troops occu-
pied Japan, defying the Jap
guard to undertake to hold them
and that they were joined by an
other American soldier who had
also walked out of the prison at
Osaka. They rode a train to near
Tokyo and then walked to the
area occupied by Allied soldiers,
where they were warmly well
coined.
William E. Sutherland, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Sutherland
of Clintwood, has been mention
ed previously as being prison
er of the japanese, and a few
months ago message was radi-
oed to his parents from Tokyo
and picked up by different per-
sons on the West Coast and trans
mitted by them to his parents.
His father often expressed the
wish to live to see his son re-
turn, but died a few weeks ago
of a heart attack. The father
served with American troops in
the Philippines when the islands
were wrested from Spain in 1899.
There, nearly fifty years later,
the. son served under Macarthur
and Wainwright at Bataan and
Corregidor and helped write a
glorious chapter in American
history.
