DO YOU KNOW?<br />
Dear sir:<br />
As per our phone conversation, I am enclosing a copy of<br />
one of the birthday cards my brother received from his fellow<br />
prisoners while he was in the Kamioka POW Camp. The other<br />
names on the cards are his orderly “Judy,” Lee & Mayes,<br />
Lorenzo D. Stevens, Chriss, Lippard & Riggs, L.E. Goldsmith,<br />
Members of the British Forces, Sgt. Jack Williams, F Th<br />
Steigina, Tommy, and J.T. Fite. I am interested in the history of<br />
these cards (if there is one), who drew them?, did the Japs<br />
know they existed?, was the paper and pencils readily available?<br />
Also my brother told me of a flag that was kept hidden<br />
throughout the POW’s captivity, it may have been retold in an<br />
American Legion magazine maybe about June 1950, if anyone<br />
can give me more information about this flag or of the above<br />
people, or the cards, I would greatly appreciate it.<br />
If the cards are of more interest I can send you better<br />
copies of them. There are about 13 birthday and Christmas<br />
cards all told.<br />
