José Maria Castillo

Senior Private José Maria Castillo was a soldier with the Veracruz Division of the Mexican Army. In 1942 his division was one of three that Emperor Francisco Jose provided the Confederate States and which were used to protect the flanks during Operation Coalscuttle. Castillo was captured and personally questioned by General Irving Morrell. He eagerly responded to anything asked as he was fearful what might happen to him if he didn't.
