S/N 894913
Robert A. Feltner (21 Virginia) is found in the 1940 United States Federal Census (07 May 1940) for Fort Slocum, New Rochelle, Westchester County, New York (sheet 25A, line 23). He was a soldier in the U.S. Army.
27th Materiel Squadron, 20th Air Base Group
Private First Class Robert A. Feltner, age 23, (S/N 894913), died at 7:00 pm, 24 July 1942, of malaria and nutritional oedema (abnormal fluid retention in the tissues (oedema) resulting from the lack of protein in states of starvation or malnutrition), in Barracks #16, Hospital Area. His death was recorded on a condensed milk can label. He was one of 21 men to die that day, the 1150th prisoner to die in the camp since in opened in June. In all 786 men died in the prison during the month of July. By the time the camp was liberated in early 1945, 2,764 Americans had died at Cabanatuan in 2½ years. 90% of the POW deaths in Cabanatuan were men who were captured on Bataan.
He was buried in a communal grave in the camp cemetery along with other deceased American POWs who died during that 24 hour period. After the war, all the remains in the Cabanatuan Prison cemetery that could be found were disinterred (between December 1945 - February 1946) and brought to 7747 USAF Cemetery, Manila #2, Philippine Islands. The deceased in Manila #2 (over 11,000 American soldiers) rested there until their removal to the American Graves Registration Service Manila Mausoleum in the summer of 1948 for positive identification. Unfortunately, no clothing, personal effects nor any other means of identification were found for him and his remains could not be associated with any remains recovered from Cabanatuan. He is most likely buried in the Manila American Cemetery as a "Known but to God". There are 953 men like PFC Feltner who were not identified after the war, "unknowns", permanently interred in the Manila American Cemetery from Cabanatuan
Private First Class Robert A. Feltner is memorialized on the Tablets of the Missing - United States Army and Army Air Forces at the Manila American Cemetery in the Philippines.
