We were on the Wong Nai Chung Gap. We had to cross Wong Nai Chung Gap when they told us, they had the machine gun trained on the Gap there, and a couple of guys got hit crossing the Gap. And it come over a loudspeaker that we were supposed go to a peak there to surrender. That was on the 25th. They lined us up against the rocks, and lined the machine guns, and we thought, well, they were just gonna, that was it. And then all of a sudden a commander comes. We had to march, we started marching for, till we got to the ferries, and the ferry goes across and they put us back in our old barracks. There was several of them that were bayoneted on the road. If they couldn’t keep up with the rest of them they were either shot or bayoneted.
Interviewer: The brother that was killed in Hong Kong, did you hear about that later?
Yeah. He was also bayoneted. He was wounded in the shoulder and in the leg. The Japanese, this is from one of my guys from my town, he come back, he was in that pillbox that my brother was in. And he said that he was so badly wounded that the Japanese just bayoneted him cause he couldn’t go with them.
