George M. Battey, Jr.: May 2, 1918

Convoy separated, 12 vessels proceeding with us to Brest. Wireless intercepted requesting extra deep anchorage, and we concluded Leviathan (Vaterland) was putting in. Arrived Brest 4 P. M.; passed near Leviathan, full of troops, some shoving off on liberty. Prometheus restored liberty. Movies on the Panther.

George Beck: May 2, 1941

Germans allowed us to listen to ‘Lord Haw Haw’ on the wireless. According to his propaganda we are still retreating, there must be some motive for it. We’re practically finished the way he talks but we’ll have to wait and see. Propaganda doesn’t kill the old English spirit.

Tatsusei Yogi: May 2, 1945

At Maehira we found an empty hut which people told us was an army officer's hut. We slept peacefully in it. We decided not to go to Mabuni because we were so tired. We wept at the kindness of the village people of Maehira.
