Scope and Contents Ray Church (b. 1920) recalls his childhood in Depression-era Delta, Utah. After two and a half years at Dixie College, he found himself without funds and joined the Marines. He was posted to Guam in 1941 and attached to the military government. He was taken prisoner in December, shortly after Pearl Harbor. Church describes his time as a prisoner of war in Tanagawa, known as the "death camp," and in Osaka.
