Re: HOLLANDIA (JAYAPURA) in 1944
hi Jack, Well, to tell the truth this question didn't come to my mind at all. The reason is that I think the answer is obvious. I figure you would never forget the first enemy you kill, you would think it over and over again, then there would a second one and another and after so many you'd probably give up counting. I mean some you are not sure of, others were from a distance, others were "shared" or indirectly. I don't know if many veterans could answer this question. One answer would certainly "many", but the real answer could be "enough to survive" (this could include those killed by hatred, and maybe those who did not have to be killed but were because it was war and you pulled the trigger for whatever reason). I don't know Jack am I correct here? I could be totally wrong, as I wasn't there, but I have a feeling that I understand you quite well.
