As you may have gathered from my other scrappy notes, wires etc, sent as opportunity offered,
we were liberated by US troops on (I think) Sunday 9 Sep, and within a few hours had travelled by train
to the port of Jinsen where we embarked and spent a night on a U.S. hospital ship.
Next morning, bathed, fed & fumigated we transferred to a U.S Transport (the ‘Noble’ P.A. 218).
All the ship’s staff were wonderfully hospitable. On arrival at Manila we came by bus some 20 miles to this camp,
where we were met by Australians who first gave us a meal and then quartered us…
It was a wonderful feeling to be among our own people once again.
Then to top it off I found awaiting me letters from home.LEST WE FORGET
