A former
World War II paratrooper and native of
Yonkers, New York,
Hugh Francis Redmond later worked for the
CIA. He was in
Shanghai disguised as an ice cream machine salesman from 1946 to 1951, returning intelligence information on the
Communists.
As he was boarding a ship to
San Francisco to return to the
United States, he was captured and imprisoned. Held for almost twenty years in a prisoner camp, he was repeatedly tortured, but never admitted his connection to the CIA. In 1970, he died; the Chinese claim he slit his wrists on 13 April 1970. The Chinese cremated his remains and they were returned to the United States. Redmond was buried in Yonker's Oakland Cemetery on August 3, 1970
[1]. Considerable mystery still surrounds whether or not he was
murdered during his imprisonment.

Paratroopers are soldiers trained in parachuting and generally operate as part of an airborne force.
Paratroopers offer a tactical advantage as they can be inserted into the battlefield from the air, thereby allowing them to be positioned in areas not accessible by land.
