I thought this was worth sharing for the serious readers of our POW/MIA sub-board. It's what Cliff Larsen's widow wrote about her time in Manila before the war, and meeting Cliff Larsen, whom she married. It leads to a lot of vignettes which will will pop up later, and hopefully we can develop the picture of in Manila a little further. For example, the missionary referred to at the start of Page 105 appears to be Ernest Stanley, an enigmatic figure inside STIC. Stanley was an interpreter, and it fell upon him to be the communicator with the Japanese running the Camp. At one point he was considered the most unpopular man in Santo Tomas Internment Camp, and later he was thought (by some) to have been an undercover American or English Intelligence Agent. But this intro is not to focus on him, this is to open a few eyes to what happened when Manila after the withdrawal to Corregidor was a Japanese run city. The document is 1.5MB, so if you're interested in studying it, kindly download it to your own computer once only, and don't blow my bandwidth allowance.
