carbinephalen Posted June 18, 2015 Share #29 Posted June 18, 2015 It's interesting that he was awarded a Soldier's Medal for that mission. It seems to definitely involve combat (or possible combat) with the enemy. I would expect a SSM (or a BSM atleast) for his actions. A very unique and thorough citation indeed! Needless to say, that man was a hero. Glad you were able to save this one. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul70 Posted July 4, 2018 Share #30 Posted July 4, 2018 Wow, about ten years ago I went and listened to a presentation at a museum where a guy talked about he jumped into Japanese held China with a small OSS team at the end of the war. He said they were to secure paperwork and to prevent the execution of POW's. He said the Japanese were not told about them coming, so they walked right into the headquarters and said you are suppose to help us to the total shock of the Japanese. He said the Japanese officers huddled to discuss what to do and decided to put them in a hotel room for the night. The next day they were very helpful to the American's shock. i wonder if this is him? or a member of his team. I remember the guy had a privately published book available, but I did not buy it.

hww4 Posted January 2, 2019 Share #32 Posted January 2, 2019 My father, Col J. W. Worthington, was a POW in Mukden, Manchuria, Camp Hoten I, on 8/16/1945. A copy of his account of Maj. Hennessy's drop makes fascinating reading, and I have attached an excerpt from his memoirs in the link below. I am researching for a documentary and interested in related information.
