I am thirty one today. My third birthday as a prisoner of war - and hope my last. A exciting day. The draft list went into effect, 200 men leave, have been placed in the segregation. Golandovsky went in with quantities of food - clothing and medicals. The Japanese were shocked and the Commandant he had and considered it most disgraceful. Over Y5000 of medicals alone! He was slapped hard and his medicine confiscated. Rightly so. We, cookhouse lost 13 members and worked short handed. I did wood chopping all day. A nice start for my thirty first year.
