PFC James Lonzo Paradise 422nd Infantry Regiment Our father James L. Paradise was a POW in WWII. He was a member of the 422nd Infantry Regiment. James Paradise PFC, Serial Number 34001914
He didn't talk much about his experiences as a POW but I won't ever forget the tales he did tell. He told us a story once of his camp having potatoe peelings to eat and somtimes only bread and many times nothing. He told us about eating donkey as well. He said none of the men wanted the "end" peice of the bread, so he always took it saying to us he thought it was more bread than a regular slice because it was thicker in the middle. He was roped in the box cars jammed in like cattle,and forced marched barefooted in the snow for 2 or 3 days. James Paradise was a POW in camp Stalag 9B Bad Orb Hessen-Nassau, Prussia 50-09. He was held in this camp until his release when the war ended.

Pvt. Jim H. Gilmore 422nd Infantry Regiment (d.11th Jan 1946) As a young child, I remember seeing a military document and a picture of my uncle, Jim Gilmor who served in the US Army and died at POW camp Stalag 9B in Bad Orb, Hessen-Nassau, Prussia. My grandmother framed it and hung in her home for all to see and remember the price for freedom, and also to remember her loss of a son. He gave the ultimate sacrifice so others could enjoy the freedom many take for granted.
As I’ve gotten older and reflect on the many family members of mine who have served, I would really like to know what happened to his remains. I was told he was buried there where he died and would like to learn more about where he is. Who thinks of the fallen when they are gone? Who will praise them for giving us freedom and remember them when they helped in liberating the oppressed at the hands of a tyrant? I will. I will be the one to remember you.
If possible, could you advise me on how to go about locating his remains? I don’t know where he rests.
