Thoughts on Japan

Heroes Remember

I never bore any animosity towards the Japanese people as such, then or now. I bear deep animosity towards the people whoever they are, who were responsible for executing the four Winnipeg Grenadiers. I bear animosity towards the very senior people either civil or military who made the decision not to allow the Red Cross to provide us with food and medicine, who took the decision that free flow of mail was not something that was important and things like that so I resent all that but I have no animosity towards the Japanese people as such. They were caught up in something just as a lot of other people were. As I say, I have grievances against individuals, not against the country.
