| Content: | This is an Allied Translator and Interpreter Section (ATIS) interrogation report for 2nd Class Engine-room Hand TAKIKI Hisao of Yayoi, who was captured on Normanby Island on 23 September 1942. TAKIKI, a 23 year old from Miyazaki, was on board Yayoi at the time of the landing at Milne Bay. He was conscripted in January 1941 and joined Yayoi in April 1941. Yayoi made two or three voyages from Rabaul to Rabi to transport supplies and evacuate the wounded. Yayoi was bombed and sunk and the majority of the crew was lost. About 50 men were taken off in two boats and landed on Normanby Island. TAKIKI was one of seven Japanese soldiers who were wounded and burnt when they were captured. The information he gave mainly concerned the movements of the ship. He was described by the interrogators as "not evasive", and more detailed interrogation was recommended. |
