JANESVILLE WW II BATAAN MEMORIAL INDEX

Janesville World War Two Corregidore Memorial Names Index & Photos

           
Scroll Down for the Surname Index
​

WELCOME 
This index provides the names of U. S. Army servicemen of Company A of the 192nd Tank Battalion during the Second World War. The 192nd Tank Battalion of the United States Army was a federalized Army National Guard unit activated in November 1940. Deployed to the Philippines, the battalion was engaged in combat during the Japanese invasion and the US retreat to the Bataan Peninsula. The 192nd was part of the force that surrendered to the Japanese there, and it subsequently ceased to exist as an active unit. Some prisoners at Cabanatuan were rescued by US Army Rangers on 30 December 1944. Others were sent to Japan or other parts of the Japanese empire as laborers. The men of Company A were recruited from Rock County and its environs and became known as “The Janesville 99.” Of these 99, only 35 men would return alive.
 
All 99 names appear on the brass plaque of the one-sided WWI Bataan Veterans’ Memorial in Janesville, Wisconsin. This granite memorial stands over eight feet tall and is located near the northwest corner of Franklin and West Milwaukee Streets in downtown Janesville. This index contains the names of 99 service men along with their military grades and identifies those who died in the service of their county. By 2009, the last of Janesville’s Bataan survivors had passed away.

SOURCE INFORMATION
Information in this index was transcribed from high resolution photographs taken in July, 2011 by Rock County Genealogical Society member David Bradford on August 14, 2011. (Copyright 2011 by RCGS).

HOW CAN I OBTAIN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT VETERANS FROM THIS INDEX?
Additional research can be conducted personally at the Rock County Genealogical Society's Library located at the Milton House Museum, 18 S. Janesville Street, Milton, WI. Genealogically relevant documents may be reviewed there, or you may request copies or abstracted information from the Rock County Genealogical Society librarian at RCGS.Library@gmail.com.
