Lots of Fun
Heroes Remember
Lots of Fun
We got to Hong Kong in September or
October and the war started in December
so we weren’t there very long before the war
started, a couple, two or three months.
We had lots of fun by the time,
before the war started.
There was all kinds of Chinese girls and
they were cleaning our shoes and shaving,
they’d shave you, clean your rifles.
They were not supposed to do that but a lot
of the guys used to get the Chinese to clean your rifles.
We had very good service for the time
we had while we were there.
We weren’t there long enough for you to do too
much and then the war started and
that wasn’t that good.
