Akira Iwasaki oral history interview, part 4 of 5, July 14, 2001

Iwasaki talks about his involvement with the Lost Battalion campaign. There, he would endure cold weather, including snow, and shooting mortars through heavy forested areas. Following this, they would head to the French Riviera, where they would begin the Champagne Campaign. There they would mostly be involved with rest and relaxation and talking with French civilians. From there, they would head to Po Valley, where they would hear of V-E day. They would continue on through Italy, stopping in Milan before being sent home to the United States. He would return to Hillsboro, taking flying lessons and joining his family on the farm once again.
