Robert Prince (captain)
Robert Prince (1920 – January 1, 2009) was an officer in the United States Army's elite 6th Ranger Battalion. In 1945 he was chosen personally by Lt. Col. Henry A. Mucci to plan the rescue at the Cabanatuan POW camp in the Philippines.
==Personal life==
Prince was born in Seattle, Washington and grew up in Madrona, Seattle. He graduated from Garfield High School and Stanford University, studying history and economics. He was initiated in Sigma Chi fraternity at Stanford. Prince joined the Reserve Officers' Training Corps and was commissioned as a Second lieutenant in 1941. On January 31, 1942, he married Barbara Harrison at Seattle's Episcopal Church of the Epiphany. Only a few months afterwards, Prince was sent to New Guinea to fight in the war against the Japanese army. The fighting in New Guinea ended a week before his group arrived. Shortly afterwards, the US Army created the 6th Ranger Battalion with Lt. Colonel Mucci commanding. In January 1945, news spread of the "Kill-All" policy of the Japanese. Mucci was quickly ordered to form a team to rescue prisoners at the Cabanatuan camp. After the successful raid in 1945, Prince left the Army as a Major the day before Thanksgiving 1946.
