Canadians, The Very Best!

I would like to make this very clear. The Japanese nations, I hate them. Abhorrence that I can’t control, but I say the nation, not the ones that are becoming Canadians. They should remember, if they are Canadians, they’re Canadians. But the one on that Island, I hope they never, never prosper. They were asleep at the switch. They should have been awake, like that General Quartermaster not giving us the proper equipment to go with. How come that always it’s the poor private that’s not being trained that makes the most mistakes and then those people make grave mistakes like that and you never hear about it?

Like, our officers they’re all, and our men they just didn’t know any different to do the soldiering they were taught to do. Mind you, I disliked some of the things that we did like having to salute for three weeks because we didn’t salute a British Major. But, the men that I had, I couldn’t have had any better soldiers. They’re the best, Canadians. The very best.
