Private James N Bumpus
US Army
James N. Bumpus, my great-uncle, was a Private in the United States Army during WWII and was captured by the Germans and taken to Stalag IVB. He marched in the infamous Death March.
I was born after his death and was never able to meet him, but I heard many stories from my grandmother, his sister, about his service in the war. I was recently privileged to view many of his letters from the war and the P.O.W. camp.
I would love to hear from anyone who may have known him or of those who served and suffered with him.
