*Died in the Tokyo prison fire. During the May 23rd fire raid (in which the 330th took part), the prison caught fire. The Japanese guards let the Japanese prisoners escape, shot several American prisoners who tried to escape and refused to unlock the cells in which Carle, Turner and the others from K-43 were held. They subsequently died in the flames. The Japanese guards responsible were later convicted in the War Crimes Trials and put to death.
