graduated from West Point In
1906. He was promoted through

in December 1941, he led troops on
the northern front and in March
1942 took over the command of
the Philippines from General
Douglas MacArthur, who had been
ordered to Australia. Wainwright
was in charge of the defense of
Bataan and Corre'gidor until he
was forced to surrender to the
Japanese on May 6, 1942. In
August 1945, American para-
chutists rescued him from a pri-
son camp north of Mukden, Man-

United States, where he was made
a full general and given command
of the Eastern Division Command.
