Morgan French, a veteran of
World War II and the Korean War, survivor of 40 months as an American POW in
Japanese custody, loving husband and devoted father, died Friday, February 24th
in Plano TX. He was 92 years old.
Morgan, who lived most of
his working life in Radcliff, KY, was born on August 21, 1919, in Perryville
KY. His family worked on various farms around Harrodsburg, KY in the 1920’s
& ‘30’s. Morgan joined the Kentucky National Guard in 1937 to “get a break
from farming”. Little did he know then that this was the beginning of a long
and distinguished career in the U. S. Army. Morgan participated in the
Louisiana Maneuvers in the summer of 1941, and following that, he, his brother,
and 64 other men comprising the 38th Tank Company (later designated Company D,
192nd Tank Battalion), a National Guard unit from Harrodsburg, were deployed to
the Philippine Islands in November 1941 to provide defense of the Philippines
from Japanese forces.
Beginning on December 8,
1941, Morgan and the other men of Company D fought in the delaying action on
the Bataan peninsula. Morgan was finally captured at Fort Drum in Manila Harbor
on May 10, 1942. Morgan was taken from Ft. Drum to Bilibid Prison in Manila,
and from there to Cabanatuan POW Camp where he stayed 5 months prior to being
transferred on the Hell Ship, Nagato Maru, to Japan in late-1942. He was a POW
in Japan from then until he was liberated by Allied Forces on September 10,
1945. Prior to his death, Morgan was the last surviving member of Company D,
now known as the Harrodsburg Tankers.
Morgan returned to the
United States in late-1945 and, after medical convalescence, returned to active
duty in the U. S. Army. He served two tours in Korea, and upon returning home,
married Maxine Milby of Greensburg in 1954. From that time until his retirement
from the Army in 1962, Morgan served at various Army posts in the United States
and Germany. He retired with 23 years’ military service, having earned the
Bronze Star, Purple Heart and many other commendations. Following a short
career in the civilian sector, Morgan returned to his favorite work as an
instructor at the Armored School at Ft. Knox. He retired from Civil Service in
1984.
Morgan was an active member
of the Vine Grove Baptist Church for many years. He enjoyed playing with his
grandchildren during their visits every summer. He was a blue-blooded UK
basketball and football fan, and enjoyed going to the games in Lexington. In
retirement, he enjoyed working on projects around the house and on his
property.
Morgan
was preceded in death by his wife of 55 years, Maxine; his father and mother,
the late Clifton and Mary Alice French of Harrodsburg, and two brothers and six
sisters. Morgan’s brother, Edward, was killed-in-action in Bataan on April 22,
1942. He is survived by two sons and their wives, Morgan and Mary Jane French
of Houston, TX, and Stewart and Anne French, of Dallas, TX; and two
grandchildren, Edward Clifton French and Meredith Holly French, both of Baton
Rouge, LA.
Visitation will be at the
Nelson-Edelen-Bennett Funeral Home (Radcliff) on Friday, March 2nd, from 10:00
a.m. until 12:30 p.m. Following visitation, funeral services will be held at
1:00 p.m. at the Vine Grove Baptist Church. Burial will follow at the North
