My dad was a small child during the 1941 Louisiana maneuvers. An activated National Guard unit from Pennsylvania bivouaced near where they lived and his family got to be friendly with some of them. They maintained a correspondence with them after the maneuvers. Those guys shipped out to the Phillipines and they never heard from any of them again after Pearl Harbor. My father has often wondered if any of them survived.

The preface to Ghost Soldiers lists those who were rescued in the raid. I have not found lists of those who survived the death ships and were only freed at the end of the War.
