I was the one that found out. I was the one that found out. See, I was … I had a dixie. I used to carry tea back and forth to the men. I wasn’t allowed to do any work. So I carried tea back and forth. The Indians were guarding us. And one of these Indians told me, “What the hell are you doing here? ” I said, “What do you mean, what the hell am I doing here? ” “Well,” he said, “The war is over.” I said, “Come on, get the hell out of here.” “Yeah,” he said, “The war is over. It’s been over for three days.” So I went back to camp and I told my officer that. So they all got up and went and took over, took over from the Japs. The Japs were in prison then. They were interned by our men.
