Two American Women Rescued From Luzon Guerrillas
In Manila two American women, Mrs. Herman Kluge of Schenectady and Mrs. Helen J. McQuaid, were rescued after long ordeals with Filipino guerrillas led by Col. Volckmann. Kluge hid with Ifugao tribesmen for 41 months to escape a 35000 peso bounty. McQuaid endured Japanese prisons and a near beheading before rescue by the 14th Philippine Infantry in October 1944. They recount torture, ambushes, and a daring escape across Japanese lines and later evasion of General Yamashita’s forces.
