 Attitudes to the war Diary of TAMURA Yoshikazu: Last entry |
Two English entries appear on the page following the last entry. Thus, it is possible to assume that TAMURA was killed soon after 8 December. In December and January 1943-1944, there was fighting in the Ram Valley from Dumpu over the ranges to the coast at Bogadjim, just south of Madang. TAMURA most probably died in this part of New Guinea and his diary was captured by Australian soldiers. Eventually, it reached Allan Connell’s hand and remained with him till he died.
