Capt. Ralph E. Manuel
United States Army 3rd Btn. I Coy. 47th Infantry Regiment
from:Winchester, Virginia, USA
My Great Uncle Ralph Manuel was captured on the 12th of November 1944 leading his men in action at Bovenburg Farm, North of Hamich, Germany. He was first held in Stalag 12A prisoner of war camp, then transferred to 9B. According to family stories he escaped and eventually made his way back to his unit, however a Fort Benning Infantry School report says he was recaptured after escaping by the Russians and returned to the US Army. Records dated 30th of March 1945 confirm he did return to the 47th.
