Bush was born on April 15, 1910, in Denver, Colorado. He enlisted in the United States Army on December 1, 1942, and he became a Technician 5th Grade of the medical unit. He was a member of the Medical Detachment of the 413th Infantry Regiment of the 104th Division also known as the Timberwolf Division. The 104th landed in France on September 7, 1944. On October 23, the Division arrived in Wuustwezel to relieve the British 49th Division. On October 25, the 413th was moving toward Zundert, Holland through Terbeck and Heilbloom, Belgium when the company was met with heavy artillery, mortar, machine gun, and rifle fire. Bush left cover to administer first aid to the wounded. He was fatally wounded in the process. For his actions, he received a Silver Star and was also awarded a Purple Heart. Bush was originally buried in the Henri-Chapelle military cemetery in Belgium. His remains were returned to the United States and buried in the Golden Gate National Cemetery at his mother's request.\n Sources: \"Combat Chronicle of a Rifle Company.\" 104th Infantry Division.

The eldest of three, he had two younger brothers who also served in the armed forces during the Second World War: Waymon and Lloyd. His parents separated at an undisclosed time, and he grew up in nearby Merkel with his father and stepmother, Velma. Tillman did not complete his senior year of high school, choosing instead to enlist in the U.S. Army. Because he was only seventeen at the time, he had to do so with his father's permission. He was sworn in on March 14, 1941, in Abilene, Texas. By April 22, he had crossed the Pacific on the U.S. Republic and become a member of the 31st Infantry Regiment of the United States Army in the Far East's (USAFFE) Philippine Division, also known as the \"Polar Bears.\" He was assigned to F Company at Estado Mayor, the U.S. Army headquarters in Manila. During this time, he frequently wrote letters home to his father, brothers, and girlfriend Peggy.","The Japanese invaded on December 8, 1941, shortly after the U.S. declared war in the wake of the attack on Pearl Harbor. By early January General Douglas MacArthur ordered the American and Filipino defenses to withdraw into the Bataan Peninsula, a plan known as \"War Plan Orange.\" The 31st Infantry covered USAFFE's retreat at Layac Junction. Though they were successful, it was captured soon afterward, marking the start of the Battle of Bataan which lasted from January 7, 1942, until April 9. Tillman was captured by the Imperial Japanese Army that very day. In addition to surviving the Bataan Death March, he was a prisoner of war (POW) in camps in the Philippines and later Japan. He was believed to be missing in action from the fall of Corregidor on May 7, 1942, until confirmed as a POW April 17, 1943.","Tillman was interned at eight camps over three and a half years, listed here in the names as he referred to them. In the Philippines, he was interned at Camp O'Donnell, Cabanatuan (Hospital Side, #2, and #3), Lipa Batangas, Bilibid, and Las Pinas. He was transferred to Japan in July 1943 and interned at Tanagawa (aka Osaka POW Camp #4-B), Camp #8 (aka Fukuoka #8 Inatsuki), and Fukuoka Camp #11 (aka Hiroshima #4 Mukaijima). During this time, he kept a secret diary of important dates, recording his experience as a POW in short entries. Most notably, he describes the terrible working conditions, malnutrition, the Japanese guards' abuse, and his own poor health. He even had an appendectomy at Cabanatuan under primitive conditions. He describes interactions with other POWs, as well, most often about his friend J.B. McBride who was also from Merkel. McBride passed away during their internment at Camp O'Donnell on October 20, 1942.","Following the announcement of Imperial Japan's surrender, the Japanese abandoned Fukuoka Camp #11 on August 15, 1945. Rations were airdropped by Allied forces, which sustained the POWs until they were liberated. Tillman was officially returned to military control on September 12 at Konoya Airfield. From there, he flew to Okinawa where he was briefly reunited with his brother Waymon. On September 19 he left Okinawa for the Philippines. He stayed in Manila—partying with fellow soldiers, ex-POWs, and local women—until October 9 when he boarded the U.S.S. Marine Shark for the States. He landed in San Francisco sometime between October 30 and November 1, and eventually returned home to Merkel, Texas.","Tillman would go on to join and serve in the United States Air Force for twenty-six years, retiring as the highest enlisted rank of chief master sergeant. He was highly decorated, the recipient of the Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, the POW medal, Combat Infantry Badge, and four Purple Hearts. Among many duty stations—throughout the U.S., England, and even Japan—he was assigned as an instructor for the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps at Florida State University (FSU). It was here where he met his wife Joyce, whom he married in 1951. They had five children together and were married until her death in 1997. Tillman passed away on October 25, 2014, in San Antonio, Texas.","Transferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026 Archives in July 2022.","Processed January 2018","This link is Rutledge's obituary, offering a concise overview of his life, family, and achievements:  http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/sanantonio/obituary.aspx?pid=172966019","This collection relates to Sergeant Tillman Joe Rutledge, who served in the 31st Infantry Regiment of the United States Army in the Far East's Philippine Division.

The eldest of three, he had two younger brothers who also served in the armed forces during the Second World War: Waymon and Lloyd. His parents separated at an undisclosed time, and he grew up in nearby Merkel with his father and stepmother, Velma. Tillman did not complete his senior year of high school, choosing instead to enlist in the U.S. Army. Because he was only seventeen at the time, he had to do so with his father's permission. He was sworn in on March 14, 1941, in Abilene, Texas. By April 22, he had crossed the Pacific on the U.S. Republic and become a member of the 31st Infantry Regiment of the United States Army in the Far East's (USAFFE) Philippine Division, also known as the \"Polar Bears.\" He was assigned to F Company at Estado Mayor, the U.S. Army headquarters in Manila. During this time, he frequently wrote letters home to his father, brothers, and girlfriend Peggy.","The Japanese invaded on December 8, 1941, shortly after the U.S. declared war in the wake of the attack on Pearl Harbor. By early January General Douglas MacArthur ordered the American and Filipino defenses to withdraw into the Bataan Peninsula, a plan known as \"War Plan Orange.\" The 31st Infantry covered USAFFE's retreat at Layac Junction. Though they were successful, it was captured soon afterward, marking the start of the Battle of Bataan which lasted from January 7, 1942, until April 9. Tillman was captured by the Imperial Japanese Army that very day. In addition to surviving the Bataan Death March, he was a prisoner of war (POW) in camps in the Philippines and later Japan. He was believed to be missing in action from the fall of Corregidor on May 7, 1942, until confirmed as a POW April 17, 1943.","Tillman was interned at eight camps over three and a half years, listed here in the names as he referred to them. In the Philippines, he was interned at Camp O'Donnell, Cabanatuan (Hospital Side, #2, and #3), Lipa Batangas, Bilibid, and Las Pinas. He was transferred to Japan in July 1943 and interned at Tanagawa (aka Osaka POW Camp #4-B), Camp #8 (aka Fukuoka #8 Inatsuki), and Fukuoka Camp #11 (aka Hiroshima #4 Mukaijima). During this time, he kept a secret diary of important dates, recording his experience as a POW in short entries. Most notably, he describes the terrible working conditions, malnutrition, the Japanese guards' abuse, and his own poor health. He even had an appendectomy at Cabanatuan under primitive conditions. He describes interactions with other POWs, as well, most often about his friend J.B. McBride who was also from Merkel. McBride passed away during their internment at Camp O'Donnell on October 20, 1942.","Following the announcement of Imperial Japan's surrender, the Japanese abandoned Fukuoka Camp #11 on August 15, 1945. Rations were airdropped by Allied forces, which sustained the POWs until they were liberated. Tillman was officially returned to military control on September 12 at Konoya Airfield. From there, he flew to Okinawa where he was briefly reunited with his brother Waymon. On September 19 he left Okinawa for the Philippines. He stayed in Manila—partying with fellow soldiers, ex-POWs, and local women—until October 9 when he boarded the U.S.S. Marine Shark for the States. He landed in San Francisco sometime between October 30 and November 1, and eventually returned home to Merkel, Texas.","Tillman would go on to join and serve in the United States Air Force for twenty-six years, retiring as the highest enlisted rank of chief master sergeant. He was highly decorated, the recipient of the Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, the POW medal, Combat Infantry Badge, and four Purple Hearts. Among many duty stations—throughout the U.S., England, and even Japan—he was assigned as an instructor for the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps at Florida State University (FSU). It was here where he met his wife Joyce, whom he married in 1951. They had five children together and were married until her death in 1997. Tillman passed away on October 25, 2014, in San Antonio, Texas.","Transferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026 Archives in July 2022.","Processed January 2018","This link is Rutledge's obituary, offering a concise overview of his life, family, and achievements:  http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/sanantonio/obituary.aspx?pid=172966019","This collection relates to Sergeant Tillman Joe Rutledge, who served in the 31st Infantry Regiment of the United States Army in the Far East's Philippine Division.

His B-17, named \"Sky Queen\" by her crew, was a part of the 546th Bombardment Squadron and was attached to the 384th Bomber Group based out of Boise, Idaho. The unit was stationed in England from May 1943 until the end of the war, flying over the English channel and bombing targets across mainland Europe. The Sky Queen along with her crew participated in several successful sorties before their fateful mission not long after arriving in England.  On July 28, 1943 the Sky Queen was assigned to a sortie with the objective of bombing an aircraft engine manufactory in Kessel, Germany. The Sky Queen took formation along with several other bombers of the unit and made their way across the English Channel before several bombers experienced mechanical issues and returned to base, leaving the few remaining bombers such as the Sky Queen dangerously exposed and unprotected. For reasons unknown, the raid was not cancelled and proceeded along their flight path over the Netherlands. The bomber group quickly found themselves intercepted by a German fighter squadron, Jagdgeschwader 1, a veteran unit flying in Funk-Wolfe 190 fighters who quickly descended upon the formation. These fighters used their veteran knowledge to attack the Sky Queen and other bombers from angles which she could not retaliate with her several defensive machine guns. This resulted in the Sky Queen sustaining heavy damage to her wings and cockpit, with one strafe killing pilot 2nd Lt. William Dietel, Jr. mid-flight, and resulting in the crew attempting to bail out. Unfortunately, before the entire remaining crew could evacuate, the Sky Queen's wing damage caused the aircraft to take a downward spiral toward the ground below, locking the exit doors in place due to extensive g-forces. Only top turret gunner Howard J. Adams and radio operator Ardell H. Bollinger were able to evacuate in time, safely parachuting down into Holland. The rest of the Sky Queen's crew perished, including Wyman D. Martin, when the bomber crashed near Kortwoude, Holland. Of the surviving crew members, Bollinger was able to evade capture and make his way back to England through resistance channels while Howard J. Adams was immediately captured by German occupation forces.  Jagdgeschwader 1 pilot Georg Schott is credited with shooting down the Sky Queen and went on to participate in a few more successful missions before he himself was shot down and forced to bail from his aircraft in September of 1943, later perishing due to exposure in the waters of the North Sea. After nearly a year of uncertainty regarding his fate, Wyman D. Martin was confirmed killed in action by Howard Adams when the Red Cross was able to relay the story of the Sky Queen to his unit command. Martin was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart and interred in Arlington National Cemetery along with the rest of his crew.","Transferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026 Archives in July 2022.","Entered 02/22/17","Link to American Air Museum in Britain record for the \"Sky Queen:\"  http://www.americanairmuseum.com/aircraft/3988","The Wyman Daniel Martin collection contains personal artifacts and ephemera from Martin's time as a middle school student before the outbreak of war and as a dorsal gunner on a B-17 bomber before being killed in action above Holland.

The Sky Queen along with her crew participated in several successful sorties before their fateful mission not long after arriving in England. \u003cblockquoter\u003e\u003c/blockquoter\u003eOn July 28, 1943 the Sky Queen was assigned to a sortie with the objective of bombing an aircraft engine manufactory in Kessel, Germany. The Sky Queen took formation along with several other bombers of the unit and made their way across the English Channel before several bombers experienced mechanical issues and returned to base, leaving the few remaining bombers such as the Sky Queen dangerously exposed and unprotected. For reasons unknown, the raid was not cancelled and proceeded along their flight path over the Netherlands. The bomber group quickly found themselves intercepted by a German fighter squadron, Jagdgeschwader 1, a veteran unit flying in Funk-Wolfe 190 fighters who quickly descended upon the formation. These fighters used their veteran knowledge to attack the Sky Queen and other bombers from angles which she could not retaliate with her several defensive machine guns. This resulted in the Sky Queen sustaining heavy damage to her wings and cockpit, with one strafe killing pilot 2nd Lt. William Dietel, Jr. mid-flight, and resulting in the crew attempting to bail out. Unfortunately, before the entire remaining crew could evacuate, the Sky Queen's wing damage caused the aircraft to take a downward spiral toward the ground below, locking the exit doors in place due to extensive g-forces. Only top turret gunner Howard J. Adams and radio operator Ardell H. Bollinger were able to evacuate in time, safely parachuting down into Holland. The rest of the Sky Queen's crew perished, including Wyman D. Martin, when the bomber crashed near Kortwoude, Holland. Of the surviving crew members, Bollinger was able to evade capture and make his way back to England through resistance channels while Howard J.
