I just recently learned of this guy. I discovered a movie was made about him.

Very fascinating story.

Thanks for the ping, JJ! A thirteen year old with the heart of a lion! God Bless him and all like him!

Capt. Glatch also had all the right instincts:

"I consider it beneath the dignity of a captain of an American battleship to flop for a Japanese bomb."

How right he was!

"If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape
and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy."
