| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - Personal account of a civilian construction contractor tasked with building defenses in the Cavite Navy Yard and Mariveles prior to and in the beginning of the war. Because he was a combatant, he was not ordered to Bataan when Manila was evacuated. Rather than be captured in Manila, the author, his wife and two friends tried to escape on a small yacht to Pearl Harbor, where Colley's experience as a contractor would be helpful for the war effort. They only got as far as Sandakan, in north Borneo, where they were captured by the Japanese. The party spent the rest of the war in Berhala and Kuching Internment Camps, in North Borneo. After the war, they were returned to Manila where they were reunited with friends. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
