It appears that the group was temporarily attached to the 48th Field Road Construction Unit for the month of February 1944. The diary details the group's movements in the Hansa Bay-Ulingan area, damage to roads and bridges caused by air raids and subsequent repair works conducted by the 48th Field Road Construction Unit. The daily entries often include detailed information on air raids in the Ulingan area on the day. |
