John Bishop

Military man in Austin H. Winn’s letters 16

Mentioned in letters as: John Bishop

In the letters

Hometown friend Austin tracked through the war: back at Ft. Meade, Maryland, expecting to go overseas (May 1944); by February 1945 Austin heard from Geraldine that John B. was a prisoner of Germany and asked home to confirm; by mid-1945 he asked how John and A.V. looked after return to the States.

Researched note

Letters place him at Ft. Meade then as a German POW returning home. Public POW/valor hits for other John Bishops (e.g., Marine Philippines POW; 26th Infantry Silver Star) do not carry matching Tennessee / Ft. Meade context, so no identity is claimed.

Not independently verified beyond the letters. Registry search attempted.
