生活状況

I lived in barracks in Japan and tents in Korea.
I slept in fox holes and in buildings.
I bathed in rivers, creeks, and field showers.
For entertainment I played cards and went fishing in rivers when at rest.

軍隊生活で最も記憶に残っている出来事

While in Japan, I received punctured lung. While I was in the hospital, I got shots every six hours. Medic's used me for a dart board. In North Korea with Lieutenant and Korean sergeant, I got stuck behind enemy lines for three days while on recon when Chinese broke through center of line for 125 milles.

I missed my family, my friends and car.

個人的に軍隊経験から学んだ最も重要なこと

I grew up and became more responsible. I learned to take orders and learned to get along with anybody. I learned to eat anything, including parsnip, canned beans and spinach. I got married in Japan in 1947 and am still happily married.
