Sample Autograph Signature:
Richard H. Bonham
Marine cipher specialist and radio operator with the World War II Navajo Code Talkers. Bonham, a non-Navajo Marine Sergeant, was also assigned to protect codetalker Native American Bill Toledo if he were mistaken for a Japanese soldier. The Navajo Code Talkers played decisive roles in the Pacific Theater at a time when the Japanese possessed the ability to break almost any American military code. The Navajo Code Talkers created messages by first translating Navajo words into English, then using the first letter of each English word to decipher the meaning. Because different Navajo words might be translated into different English words for the same letter, the code was especially difficult to decipher.
