View Full Description

At the time Pearl Harbor was bombed, George Washington Pearcy had been serving in the Philippines with the Army Air Corps for nearly a year. Captured by the Japanese in May 1942, he spent the next 29 months as a prisoner of war, during which he meticulously documented his incarceration on whatever scrap paper he could find. In October 1944, Pearcy was forced aboard the prison ship Arison maru, which was sunk by an American submarine while en route to mainland Japan. Before departing the Philippines, however, Pearcy gave his makeshift diary to fellow prisoner Robert Augur, with the request that it be delivered to his family should he not survive. Following the liberation of the Philippines, Augur kept his promise and sent the diary to Pearcy’s family in March 1945. It took another two months before the Pearcy family received official notification of their son’s death.
