Description: | Ford describes how his "little section" was surrounded by Japanese forces for nearly two years, and how the soldiers destroyed neighbouring churches and killed priests; he also describes the post-war shortage of food and supplies, and how he has "enjoyed the rough conditions" and his involvement in a local International Relief Assocation branch. He fondly recounts his time and friends in Ireland, including the Ceannt family and "Una". |
