Woodrow L. Dunkley enlisted in the Army on August 30, 1940. Two years later, he was captured by Imperial Japan while serving in the Philippine Islands, and was sent to an unstated camp where 9,012 other American POWs were held. Woodrow's capture was first reported to the International Committee of the Red Cross on May 7, 1942, and the last report was made on September 7, 1944. Based on these two reports, he was imprisoned for at least 854 days (2 years and ~5 months). Woodrow died in the sinking of the Shinyo Maru on September 7, 1944 while in Prisoner of War status.
