"The highlights each day are the swims at dawn and dusk - in spite of the floating dung of the Filipinos.  A slow nightmare of glaring heat and myriads of flies that give us no rest except at night. Hurriedly turning out work details of hundreds of men to fill insatiable demands of the Japanese - many of whom present their demand at the Sentry Gate instead of coming to Camp HQ where we have been trying to centralize their work. As I walk around the Camp, inspecting the festering latrines, etc. I stagger with weakness, and yet I can hardly force myself to eat. " Col. Paul D Bunkerr "Bunkers War " by Keith Barlow
