Herman "Smitty" Edward Smith DOB April 18th, 1920 Herman "Smitty" Edward Smith DOB April 18th, 1920, Brookhaven, MS - d. December 22nd, 2012 Leaky, TX. POW 3 years 8 months It was January of 1938 and Herman "Smitty" Edward Smith had bigger fish to fry. At seventeen, Smitty quit high school early, lied about his age and joined the Marines. There was a pride and acknowledged responsibility in those days and Smitty knew what he was called to do. He was soon to be in the 4th Marine Division, 2nd Battalion, Company F, serving first under C.O. Chesty Puller, led by General Wainwright and commanded by General MacArthur. For Smitty's first assignment, the Marines shipped him off to Shanghai, China to Soochow Creek. Since 1927 the men of the Fourth Marines had been answering the call to protect American interests in what was called the International Zone in Shanghai. Caught in the middle of a growing conflict between China and Japan, a conflict in which the U.S. Government was loath to take sides, the Marines held their ground and waited. Smitty soon found himself a long way from Wesson, Mississippi. Late in 1941, seven days prior to the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, Smitty had been sent to the U.S. Naval Base at Subic Bay in the Philippines. There he helped escort a U.S. convoy over the mountains to Mariveles, where he boarded a ship to the island of Corregidor. Corregidor is an island in the entrance of the Philippines' Manila Bay. Due to its position in the bay, it has served as a focal point for the naval defenses of the capital city of Manila. During World War II, Corregidor was the site of several battles and its fall to the Japanese forces was instrumental in the subsequent capture of the Philippines and the retreat of the United States in the early stages of the war. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese pressed hard onto the Philippines. Fierce battles in sued in and near starvation engulfed those that fought. The Bataan Pennisula fell on April 9th, 1942, but the 4th Marines held off the Japanese for twenty seven additional days knowing all along their fates. The surrender of Bataan would hasten the fall of Corregidor, a month later. For More see comments section below.
