Colonel Theodore Cornell - LKA- Kansas City - Missouri
I am in Scotland and I am keen to trace the family of Colonel Theodore Cornell.
Colonel Cornell was the CO of the Leyte Provincial Regiment in May 1942 when the Philippines were taken over by the Japanese. The colonel survived the war and after his release he went to live in Kansas City, Missouri. There the trail goes cold.
At the time of the surrender to the Japanese Colonel Cornell lost a piece of military equipment which has now turned up in Scotland. A friend of mine has this item and is keen to return it to the family of a gallant American officer.
So if any of you Cornell's out there known of this family please get in touch.
Thanks
