Europe, Junie kept expecting to
get booted out of the paratroops
and sent over to the 442nd. But
the red tape experts never did
catch up with him and pretty
soon Junie found himself making
a combat jump into southernFrance. The^only thing that
spoiled the fun was getting rip­
ped up after running afoul a
minefield.
Once Junie was called on to in­
terrogate an Asiatic prisoner of
war. Junie tackled him in Ja­
panese, Nisei version, but drew
only a blank. He wonders to this
day whether the prisoner was a
Mongol, or whether he was a Ja­
panese baffled by the Nisei ac­
cent.
Junie Kawamura’s experience
in the army is reminscent of the
situation Harry Yanagimachi
found himself in. Harry,, like
Junie, is an ex-Seattleite. He'vol­
unteered for the 442nd from Mi­
nidoka WRA center, reported for
training and found himself pick­
ed for officer candidate school.
That could have been expected
because Harry is all man—big en­
ough and bossy enough to quar­
terback the Univ, of Washing­
ton freshman football team in
the mid-thirties.
While Harry was learnin to
become an officer and gentleman,
the 442nd took off across the
Atlantic. Hany expected to join
them in time but after he got his
Lieutenant’s bars he found him­
self headed west across the Pa­
cific.
When Lt. Yanagimachi report­
ed for duty the C.O. looked at
his name and at his face and
asked: “Are you an interpreter?”
“Hell no, sir,” Yanagimachi re­
plied, T can hardly speak the
blankety-blank language, sir.”
“But you can’t go into com­
bat.”
“Why the hell not sir? That’s
what the hell I came out here
for, sir, and that’s ■what I intend
to do.”
Overwhelmed either by Yana­
gimachi’s profanity or his de­
termination, the C.O. gave Harry
a platoon. Harry led it into com­
bat in some of the jungle fight­
ing around Manila and managed
very well. not to get shot at by
his own men.
