| Content: | This item consists of two sections from the diary of a Japanese soldier stationed in the Philippines during 1943 and 1944. The two sections are written in different styles and are possibly not the work of the same person, though they seem to be written in the same notebook.The first section (14 diary pages) covers the periods from 1-13 Jan and 7-12 Feb 1943, and makes reference to the Japanese advance and capture of Singapore. The second longer section (67 diary pages) covers the period from 1 Jan to 4 Apr 1944. This section contains details of the everyday life and duties of a Japanese signals officer in the Philippines, and as such is of interest to the historian. |
