Item Details

Description

SEABEE IN PHILIPPINES WRITES ON CAPTURED STATIONERY
Somewhat humorous American Seabee's letter on captured Japanese letterhead, 3pp. large 4to., "Philippines", Jan. 19, 1945 in which Jim Burke writes a friend at home. Peppered with the word "dam", Burke relates: "...I have been dam busy, if you know what I mean...we work on the beach...I am black as the dam natives...We have a dam circus day and nite...the men...bring us tuba, a native whiskey. It is made of fermented coconut juice, and would make dam good anti-freeze...you'll get knocked for a loop...bamboo and coconut shacks...The guy next to me...about 5 ft. tall, very dark with buck teeth. He is the perfect picture of Tojo...We had a bunch of Jap saki...We also see Jap prisoners. They are mean looking little bastards, and full of tricks, but oh so dam polite when captured...they saluted an Army lieutenant...I will drop in some money the Japs used down here...I got enough of this to start a bank...". Fine.
