LOCAL MAN
CAPTURED
BY JAPS
The Navy Department announced
through its district headquarters
at Charleston Friday that Lenzie
J. Lee of Roanoke Rapids, a civil
ian worker on Wake Island prior
to the Japanese capture of the
Pacific outpost, was “deemed like
ly to be a Japanese prisoner of
war.”
Lee’s name was announced as
I among some 27 persons from the
Sixth Naval District who were
supposedly captured on the islands
of Wake and Guam when the
Japanese attacked and captured
these Pacific stronghoida
The Navy department said that
Lee was employed on Wake In the
construction of defense works and
that because of the interruption of
communications and the eliminat
ing of contact entirely when the
varibus outposts were overwhelmed
the Navy Department cannot have
absolute information on the exact
status of all individuals who were
serving in the armed forces and
of civilians who were engaged on
public works undertakings on the
two islands.
However, the communique said,
from information that bad been a
vaiiable up to the time or near the
time of the capture of some of
the group, and from the rosters of
personnel serving at the different
places, it is presumed that those

Lee, who lives about a mile from
Roanoke Rapids on the Littleton
highway. He worked for Rose
mary Mills for a number of years
prior to enlisting In the Army, in
which he served one complete
term and a portion of another.
He went to Wake Island as a
civilian employee on the defense
projects about two years ago and
had written home several times
before the outbreak of hostilities
with Japan.
The information received by the
Herald Friday was the first word
received of the Roanoke Rapids
man since the Island was captured,
and relatives of the youth were
overjoyed to hear that he was not
listed among the dead on the is
land.
