Robert H Cameron of Elkhart County Indiana was killed December 10,
1944, in the Souht Pacific during World War II. He is officially
listed as missing or buried at sea. His name appears on the "Tablets
of the Missing" at the Manila American Cemetery in the Philippines.
We are seeking information regarding his military and civilian life.
I am a retired Hoosier from Madison County residing in the
Philippines with my Filipino wife. We are seeking family and military
information about servicemen from your county killed in the South
Pacific during World War II. There are 17,206 Americans buried here
and thousands more that are missing or buried at sea and are honored
on the "Tablets of the Missing". Please visit our website to see the
beautiful memorial located in Manila, Philippines.

My wife and I visited the cemetery as visitors and left with a
mission in our heart. We have been taking photographs of the graves
of the Indiana servicemen buried here and have been uniting them (at
no charge) with their family members in Indiana and across the United
States. To receive the photo of your family member, neighbor or
friend all you need is a working email address. We do not send them
to regular mailing addresses due to the costs. Please help us find
the families of the men that might still be living. Our project is
only successful because of teamwork and your contributions are noted
on our website. If you wish to help us we will be pleased to add your
name to our ACKNOWLEDGMENT page on the website. The obituaries
usually did not appear till to three months after the death date.
If you are not a genealogist you can help by just picking up the
telephone directory and find someone with the same last name and give
them a call. It has worked many times for us.
