William J.
Pomeroy (November 25, 1916 – January 12, 2009) was an American communist and a ghost writer who served the American army in the Pacific during World War II.
He has a connection with the Philippine guerillas during the war, supplying them with materials.
He also organized a protest against the decision of the U.S.
government to treat the guerillas as enemies.
He married Celia Mariano, a Filipina who was a member of the HUKBALAHAP in 1948. In 1952 he and Celia were captured by government forces in the Sierra Madre in the Philippines.
Sentenced to life, the couple were released in 1962, but Celia was refused a passport.
So Pomeroy started campaigning, lobbying Bertrand Russell and Graham Greene.
The fight was successful but – denied US entry – the Pomeroys moved to England.
