The more knowledgeable might even be aware of their valuable services during the occupation of Japan, acting in many ways as linguistic and cultural bridges. The author, however, casts a wide net to capture their varied roles in every major Pacific campaign from Alaska to Guadalcanal to Papau New Guinea to China-Burma to the occupation of Philippines, Korea, Japan (including their role in the War Crime Trials), as well as a minor role in the Manhattan Project. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><lien>www.nichibeitimes.com/articles/artsent.php?subaction=showfull&id=1186093740&archive=&start_from=&ucat=3 <l/lien> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
