I do not wish to denigrate the wonderful achievements of my comrades in Europe but I hope people will also remember the war in the Far East, which continued with great ferocity until Japan surrendered on August 15, 1945.

I was responsible for editing and circulating a newspaper (The New Ram) to the local units on Ramree Island, off the Arakan coast.
