Transcription
D’abord, je suis allé à Jericho Beach [Vancouver] pour m’enrôler dans l’armée. Ils m’ont dit « on n’accepte pas les Orientaux dans le service ». Un an plus tard, j’y suis retourné pour participer, je me suis enrôlé dans la force aérienne, et là j’ai été accepté. J’étais avec les…avec [l’équipe] Recherche et sauvetage. J’étais mitrailleur-radiotélégraphiste. On patrouillait en avion la côte ouest de l’Alaska et on descendait jusqu’à Seattle [Washington], aller-retour. On cherchait des sous-marins japonais. On en a repéré un juste à l’extérieur de Victoria Harbour [Colombie-Britannique]. J’ai télégraphié à Esquimalt [Colombie-Britannique] pour que la marine l’intercepte, mais lorsqu’ils sont arrivés, il était parti. Je pense qu’ils avaient dû capter notre signal.
