Please refer to the updated SWJ Blog thread. We do have an update that maybe of interest.

'Guerilla Daughter' has sent an update along with a caveat that the work is steady and no date is end - being a housewife / homemaker.

She is the daughter of Colonel Arthur Philip Murphy, a now-deceased American Army officer who was an integral part of USAFIP-NL and:

for the past two years I've been working on writing my father's memoirs. I do have more than 300 pages written (20 chapters) and am, chronologically, late into 1943, so maybe one of these days I'll reach the end. I'm writing about his days as a guerrilla in North Luzon during WWII. He never surrendered, was never captured and never wounded (if you don't count malaria) and ended up serving as Chief of Staff for Russell W. Volckmann toward the end of the war. Volckmann commanded the United States Army Forces in the Philippines, North Luzon (USFIP-NL).

I am sure she will update us when her research is complete and finds a publisher.

If anyone knows a Jennifer Terrault, who posted an update on the SWJ Blog thread in January & June 2012, can they update her - alas we have no email address. She stated:

My great grandfather was Captain Walter Cushing
