I stumbled upon your website and truly sat here in amazement at this touching story. I was doing research on Bad Orb, for my husband's uncle was POW, Michael J. Zone. Could not find him on the rosters, however, you said that it was partial. We have done his story on our family website, cousinsweb.net this week. I have one question which you did not address in the story, whatever happened to Muriel?

My father was a POW in bad orb as well. He died at home with his family at the age of 73. I requested and recieved duplicates of all his medals that had been lost. The POW medal has the most meaning to me.
I am still researching as most of his records were lost in the big fire.

Thanks to the author of One Man's Courage for
helping me track my own deceased father's military
history. He was also a POW at Stalag 9B in Bad Orb,
Germany.
Many thanks to you Kathy for reaching out to a
stranger.

First I would like to thank all those veterans who have served. My Dad is John W Gould, who is still living. He will be 89 on Nov 11, 2009. He served in the army, 28th infantry division(110th). Growing up we heard many stories of the war and my dad's capture in the Battle of the Bulge. He was captured right before Christmas 1944 and was a POW at Bad Orb Germany, stalag 9B, barracks 43A. He was liberated April 1945 when the war was over.
My mom received mail grams from the government telling her first that he was missing in action, then later she received one telling her that he was dead(I have all correspondence from then, also the letters my dad sent her). There is nothing like hearing those stories, especially the one about the pea he found! He even told us the story about the men who sneaked in the kitchen because they were hungry and killed the German guard. Which I found, in writing, this same story dad told us! This is just so amazing. Growing up you didn't really listen to the war stories, but
