| This picture is of our Japanese Gate Guards. They would salute any and all American sailors (Officers and Enlisted). When I told them that they didn't have to salute me one guard replied, "Oh no, Japanese Navy Greatest Navy in world. Yet, you beat us. I salute you." |
This is a picture of the two of the Japanese mess cooks, waiters, bartenders, etc. that took great care of us all at Sakata. Funo and Cecil. Funo was nicknamed "Squat Low" because he would run from table to table to wait on the sailors. He usually screwed the orders up so everyone got in the habit of ordering "Sukoshi zembu" (a little bit of everything). |
