Description
After graduating from Manual Arts High School, Shigeru Iba helps with his Father's nursery business. In March of 1941, Shigeru is drafted into the Army. Springtime is the busiest time for the nursery business. Therefore, he requests a deferment for June 1941.
In September, Shigeru goes to Fort Lewis for basic training. Later, Shigeru is selected to go to Camp Savage for language school. Shigeru is at Camp Savage for a year training to be an interpreter before going overseas.
Shigeru goes to Australia as a replacement for the soldiers in the Guadalcanal Battle. He is assigned to the 41st Division. Shigeru is sent to the hospital at the end of 1944 because of the Jungle Riot. He is hospitalized for one year and released at the end of December 1945.
