Col. Glenn D. Frazier (1924-2018)

Glenn D. Frazier joined the U.S Army on July 3, 1941 and requested to be stationed in the Philippine Islands. He attended four months of Army Ordnance Training School in Manila until his training was interrupted by the Japanese attack on the Philippines on December 8, 1941 just hours after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

For the next four months, Glenn relied on his Army training and country-boy ingenuity during the Battle of Bataan. Serving in the 75th Ordnance Company, he worked to keep the front lines supplied with ammunition. Promised reinforcements and supplies never arrived, but the American and Filipino troops fought off the invasion as long as they were able.

Although left with orders to fight to the death, on April 9, 1942, General Edward P. King instead made the difficult decision to surrender to the Japanese. What General King could not have envisioned was the long grueling trek the weary troops would have to endure over the course of the following week. Glenn Frazier and his fellow captives would be forced to walk without rest or food for the next seven days in what would become known as the Bataan Death March. Thousands of Americans and Filipinos died on the march. Those that managed to survive were sent to Japanese P.O.W. camps.

Glenn Frazier was soon shipped to the Japanese mainland where he was held in forced labor camps until the end of the war - over three years later.
