Description
The atrocities he witnessed against Chinese civilians still weighs heavily in Mr. Flegg's memories.
Transcription
It was a terrible sight. As I told you, there was all these hundreds of thousands of Orientals that were down in the country there that were not supposed to be there from up in the interior, and a Japanese private killed them. They didn't need any authority or anything. And there was continuously dead bodies floating around in that bay all the time, it was nothing, you see dead Chinese, oriental people floating around in that body. Anytime you want, you see them in there. You know, they were human beings, same as you and me. But to those people, life was nothing, it didn't mean anything, how the heck could it, you know, with the actions that they did. But I think they brainwashed the military people, or they had to do something because they were all inhuman people. The atrocities of things they did is absolutely unbelievable. You see them chopping peoples' heads off with a sword. And running a bayonet through people for no reason whatsoever. You know I seen this with my bloody eyes, I can never live long enough to forget these damn things. No wonder we're a disturbed bunch of guys.
