Transcription
We got to Manila and the Americans took us in. They had a bunch of Australian nurses working there for immunization, they’d give you a needle. So they just come along and you lined up and as you walked through one grabbed this arm and give you a needle and the other one grab this arm and give you a needle and they were putting them through about oh I’d say two every second almost, it seemed like it. And then as we got to the end of the line, the Americans were there and we were each given two hundred dollars.
