Eventually we arrived on 13th October 1945 at San Francisco and a great welcome. We were taken by ferry to an island in the Bay, Angel Island. This had been used as an Italian POW camp. What a difference from a Japanese Camp! Spacious dormitories with even a soft drink dispenser in each room. The food was excellent and served by Italian POWs. Sports fields and flower gardens abounded.
