A new section detailing the recollections of area World War II veterans has been added to the site.

The section carries transcripts of oral history interviews conducted with the veterans, and more will be added as transcripts of recorded interviews are completed.

The section also includes a manuscript written by John “Jack” Owens detailing his service in The Philippines, his capture by the Japanese and his years as a prisoner of war.

The section can be reached via the site’s main navigation. You can view it now by clicking here.
