WWII sailor who died in a prison camp returns to Iowa to be buried

An Iowa soldier who became a prisoner of war and died in a prison camp during World War II has returned to Iowa 83 years later to be laid to rest. Robert Shove was born in Cherokee in 1922 and grew up in Sioux City. He enlisted in the Navy in 1940 when he was 18. Shove served aboard the USS Canopus, a submarine tender stationed in the Philippines, according to the Navy. He began as a seaman second class upon boarding the ship, but climbed to the rank of fireman second class. His job was to fight fires, perform rescues and stand watch. He was on the job, stationed in the Cavite Navy Yard in the Philippines, when Japanese forces attacked Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. Ten days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japanese forces began raiding U.S. Army installations on Luzon, the largest island of the Philippines. The sailors aboard the USS Canopus "worked tirelessly to aid other ships damaged in frequent Japanese bombing raids," according to a news release from the Navy. No reinforcements came to their aid. The USS Canopus was bombed on Dec. 29, 1941, and Jan. 1, 1942, yet the sailors resisted
