Letters During the Japanese Occupation By Noah

Dear Family,                                             December 9th 1941

How are you? Things here aren’t good.

Hong Kong is under siege by the Japanese. They have Jeeps, tanks and planes that are attacking Hong Kong. We dont have any planes because before we could get them off the ground, they were all blown up!

The Japanese base of Operations is in one of the many occupied hotels in Hong Kong. They are sneak attacking at night and we are out numbered and no help is coming. The other Canadian, British and Italian soldiers are very miserable and upset. We don't have enough supplies and we are low on ammunition.

People are scared out of their wits. They barricade themselves inside their homes with furniture, boxes and other heavy pieces of junk.

I miss you all, I wish I was with your right now. I am afraid that I will never see you again.

Love Nick
