Harry Daleure joined the Marine Corps shortly after graduating from high school in 1943. Harry went to boot camp in California. After training Harry, was shipped first to a base in the Solomons, and then saw action on Okinawa. While in Okinawa Harry was taken prisoner by the Japanese for six weeks. He barely ate anything during his time as a POW and thought he would die in the small tunnel they forced him to live in. Harry eventually escaped and made his way back to his outfit. He later served in China, disarming the Japanese and protecting American assets in Beijing.
