NOSHUN [Marginal Note: (see Nelson) ] Statement of Munehiro (30 Sept 46). On the morning of 26 or 27 July 1945, Munehiro passed by the guard house in the Divisional Hq Compound in Kurume, saw about 5 Prisoners inside the guard house, their hands tied behind but the door was open. They were yelling in English for water. Apparently none of the guards understood, so Munehiro, knowing a little English, told the guards. Munehiro stayed with the Prisoners for about 15 minutes. Munehiro is quite sure they were all Americans. One Prisoner told him his names was Noshun, another was Hayward, was dark, about 5'6", black hair, said he was 19. |
