Standup Philosophers

Joseph Moore was my great uncle. From what I heard he was a kind, upstanding gentleman. During WW2 he fought at the battle of corregidor with the armed air forces and after days of non-stop chaos with little food or drink, and running out of artillery, he was forced to surrender along with thousands of other americans in April 1942. He survived the Bataan death march and was sent to Cabanatuan prison camp #1. He survived for more than two years on little more than hope. On October 11, 1944 the japanese forced Joseph onto the Arisan Maru and left Manila with about 1,800 other POWs in the cargo holds.  That ship turned south to Palawan Island and anchored off Palawan until October 20th when it returned to Manila to join Convoy MATA-30 which sailed on October 21, 1944.  On October 23rd when the convoy was about 200 miles northwest of Luzon, two packs of U.S. submarines (total of nine submarines) began their attacks on this convoy. About 5:30 p.m. on October 24, 1944 the USS Shark sent three torpedoes into the Arisan Maru.  The ship broke in two pieces which floated for a while; however, the net result was death for all except nine of the POWs.  This was the largest loss of American lives in a single disaster at sea. It is unclear exactly how Joseph died, however we can assume either he was killed when the torpedo struck the ship, or that he drowned due to being injured and unable to swim. According to my grandmother, Joseph was a great swimmer and was always taking dips in the Mississippi River while growing up.
