Dear Tigers, Next of Kin, Honorary Tigers and Friends:

[HARDCORE]

Larry Zellers informed me today of the Promotion to Glory of Father Philip Crosbie (Bing) in his native Australia on Tuesday 22nd of March 2005 at age 89.

Father Crosbie was with the group of Civilian Internees that were held with the Tiger Survivors in Korea. He was arrested on 6 July 1950 and was interrogated by the Tiger a few days later in a local jail.

Father Crosbie was held under house arrest by the Japaneese Army when the Second World War began and was soon deported to Australia. He returned to Korea and his parish soon after the war.

Father Crosbie wrote a book that came out in three different titles. March Till They Die, Three Winters Cold and Pencilling Prisoner. It is a most accurate accound of what happened to our group.

Even with the cold climate in Korea and the many many years that he served there Father Crosbie had a long life and was a dear friend to us all. He had a quick wit about him and suffered long and hard as a Civilian Internee Tiger Survivor.

So we think of you now Father Crosbie, Catholics and Protestant and Muslim alike. We miss you so very much.

Love to All,
Shorty Estabrook
Founder of the Tiger Survivors
