生活状況

A-day landing, Blue Beach, Leyte Island Oct 20, 1944. Combat 87 days. 2 weeks later, combat Lingayan Gulf, Subic Bay, Zig-zag Pass Bataan. The condition was fox-hole. Every night it rained so much. We were always in water. Bathe with our clothes on. Meals were terrible. No time for entertainment except for R & R. Spearheading (sic) in Mindanao was just as bad.

軍隊生活で最も記憶に残っている出来事

I could and will never forget the pitiful sight of (Immin) babies - full of maggots under arms, legs and had to bathe them and later feed them.

軍隊にいる間、最も懐かしかったもの

Good Japanese food. Although - was assigned to the advanced party to Japan. The Prefecture boarded us and fed us for 2 months - was great for 28 of us.
