He joined the US Army January 6, 1921, and was stationed in the Philippines where he met his wife, Josephine, a native Spaniard. Together they had 3 children, Carmen, Josephine and J.N. They lived at Camp John Hay, until the morning of December 8, 1941, when the Japanese attacked. After moving north to Luzon, the remaining army forces found themselves cut off. After a couple weeks, 30 soldiers broke through and connected with General Wainwright's forces and withdrew to Bataan. December 24, 1941 would be the last time Captain (then Master Sergeant) Coennen would see his family for the next three years. On April 10, 1942, the remaining forces surrendered and were taken prisoner, beginning the infamous Bataan Death March. Coennen watched men get tortured, dying daily from starvation, exhaustion or dehydration and experiencing the death march. Just prior to his capture with General Wainwright, Coennen accepted a commission as a 1st Lieutenant, and later a promotion to Captain, by General Wainwright. While the Captain was a POW, his family convinced the Japanese they were Filipino and were allowed to remain, but not without issues. The Japanese would take their food regularly, forcing them to bury some underground to avoid starvation. Mrs. Coennen, at one time was suspected of aiding Guerilla fighters, was taken prisoner for 21 days and questioned by the Japanese. She had to witness and participate in inmate torture. For three years, she moved around various convents and refugee points until she arrived at a cathedral at Baguio. In 1945, the Americans began bombing the Island in an effort to route the Japanese, however, the bombings injured many civilians, including Mrs. Coennen and her children. Wounded, they marched for 10 days to an American Camp where they found familiar faces. Finally, on April 6, Captain Coennen was reunited with his family after the camp in Bilibid, Manila was liberated. The Coennen family left the Philippines and moved back to the United States, settling in Prescott, Arizona. Captain Coennen retired with 25 years of Service and was discharged at Williams Field, in Chandler, Arizona. Provenance: Lifetime Military Memorabilia & Arms Collection of Peter L.

In 1904, he relocated to Jacksonville, Florida where he attended public school. In 1908, De Saussure worked for the American Naval Stores Company and joined the Florida National Guard. At the US Entry into WWI, he applied for admission to an Army Officer Training Camp. Due to his prior service, he was accepted and was commissioned into the Officer Reserve Corps. 90 days later, he received orders to the 82nd Division to command a Machine Gun Company in the 328th Infantry Division. After several months of training in the US and Britain, De Saussure's Regiment finally entered the trenches on July 5, 1918 on the Woevre front in the Lagny Sector. In September, the 82nd Division was ordered to take part in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. During the offensive, on October 14, De Saussure was leading his Machine Gun Company in combat when he was wounded by shrapnel in his hand. He was evacuated off the front lines, but only for a short time. After he received medical attention, De Saussure ripped off his wounded tag, eager to return to command his men on the front. During his attempt, he was struck and killed by a bursting artillery shell. On that same day, the 328th regiment had 92 wounded and 29 killed. The 82nd Division had over 6,000 casualties during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. By the end of October, the 82nd Division was relieved, and did not return to combat before the Armistice. 1st Lieutenant De Saussure is one of the very few officers from Florida that were killed; only about 4% of casualties from the state were officers. He was posthumously awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. He is buried at the Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery, Plot B, Row 33, Grave 22.
