Because I was so young that it really didn’t scare me any. You know, I was too young to know the danger, I guess. And the war started we fought for days and nights until it was finished. We didn’t have no sleep and that lasted from what, from the 8th til Christmas Day. That’s about two weeks, a couple weeks and we didn’t sleep for two weeks. We just kept on eating when you could and fight and we didn’t really give out. It was the English Governor of the Island that give up the Island. Then the Japs had us walking the start to prison camp. It was a prison camp on the Island nearby the harbor. There was some in Kowloon and after that I stayed there in Hong Kong for maybe two years and the next two years I spent in Japan.
