Information from a web site describing the career of Winfield Scott Cunningham states Cunningham's group was not successful in the October 1944 escape attempt. They were in fact immediately captured after going over the wall. After another trial Cunningham and the other escapees were sent to Nanking on 19 January 1945. While there a cell mate was NCM Connie Battles. On 1 August 45 they were moved to Peking. After 18 Aug they were moved to Fengtai. An Army Emergency Liason Team contacted Commander Cunningham on August 23, 1945 at the Fengtai prison camp. He returned to the states by air and arrived in Annapolis, Maryland on 18 Sep 45. Evidence points to Battles, Brimmer, and Stewart being rescued at the same time.
