Hi:
I found an obituary for Frederick L. Elbert http://www.pownetwork.org/bios/e/e022.htm
He passed away on Sunday, February 18, 2018 in Canton, Ohio.
I don't know if you want to watch this interview with him before
he died, but here it is:
Also, the Military Times at https://valor.militarytimes.com/hero/27804 gives
his full name as Frederick Lawrence Elbert, Jr.
Here is another article about what happened to him: http://www.morningjournalnews.com/news/local-news/2014/09/former-pow-honors-those-who-did-not-make-it-home/ and
I have to wonder who he was captured with because it indicates
that he wasn't captured alone.
However, this article with the New York Times indicates that he
was AWOL when he was captured at https://www.nytimes.com/1973/01/31/archives/l-i-marine-listed-as-awol-is-returning-as-prisoner-of-war-further-i.html
Sincerely,
Justin Jackson-Mann
El Segundo, CA
