Col Tom Henderson from Armagh was arrested as a civilian and interned in St Thomas University Manila by the Japanese. He and 17 other American veteran's were killed by artillery fire from the Japanese before they could get out of the encampment on arrival of the American troops. He is the brother of the Hon RH Henderson of Johannesburg. From the Ulster Gazette dated 19 July 1945 I am trying to find out where Col Tom Henderson is buried and where his death is officially recorded ? Can any member help? Thank you Joe
