| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - The author was an American woman who was staying in Baguio when the war broke out. Her husband sold insurance to American miners; Mrs. Crouter kept herself busy by raising funds for the Chinese and other social activities. Crouter began her diary a few days before the war, sensing impending change, in the form of a letter to her mother. She never sent the letter and wrote in various scraps of paper. When the war broke out, the Crouters did all they could to prepare for the emergency, witnessed the bombings of Camp John Hay and then were interned by the victorious Japanese at Camp Holmes (now Camp Dangwa). She documents their day-to-day existence in the camp, her observations of the Japanese and on living conditions; their transfer through Luzon to Bilibid Prison in Manila in late 1944, and the joy of liberation in February 1945. She continues writing until July 1945, by which time she was too ill to write. Drawings by fellow-internee Daphne Bird bring visual images to Crouter's words. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
