Richard was captured by Imperial Japan while serving in the Philippine Islands, and was sent to POW Camp # 3, Old Bilbid prison, near Rizal, Manila, Philippines where 485 other American POWs were held. Richard's capture was first reported to the International Committee of the Red Cross on May 7, 1942, and the last report was made on January 7, 1945. Based on these two reports, Richard was imprisoned for at least 976 days (2 years and ~9 months), one of the longest durations of captivity recorded.
