Some boys who have tried to get a transfer from our company to a K[entucky] regiment under an act of Congress allowing transfers from regiments of other states to regiments of the state of which the applicant was a citizen. The transfer was disapproved by the Capt[ain] to the Gen[eral] com[manding], the Col[onel] giving as a reason that the applicants had as many friends here as [when such other promises were broken].

Tatsusei Yogi: March 26, 1945

We finally reached Ginowan at midnight and stayed with Mr. Nakandakari. We were all exhausted and said nothing, but wept. We could hear bombing noises coming from the direction of Oyama. I should have sent the family to Japan earlier; I feel very sorry for them.
