Description

“He, along with his comrades-in-arms who died on Bataan and Corregidor and in prison camps, gave his life for his country”

TLS, one page, 8 x 10.5, General Headquarters United States Army Forces, Pacific letterhead, October 11, 1945. Letter to John Piskorowski. In part: “My deepest sympathy goes to you in the death of your son, Private Edward F. Piskorowski, who died in action against the enemy. You may have some consolation in the memory that he, along with his comrades-in-arms who died on Bataan and Corregidor and in prison camps, gave his life for his country. It was largely their magnificent courage and sacrifices which stopped the enemy in the Philippines and gave us the time to arm ourselves for our return from the Philippines and the final defeat of Japan.” Overall wrinkling, various light stains, and a slight brush to the signature, otherwise fine condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
