At random: The first Japanese prisoner of war captured by the Americans was Kazuo Sakamaki, an ensign in the Imperial Japanese Navy. He was captured on the morning of December 7, 1941. Sakamaki had set an explosive charge to destroy his disabled submarine, which had been trapped on Waimanalo Beach. When the explosives failed to go off, he swam to the bottom of the submarine to investigate the cause of the failure and became unconscious due to a lack of oxygen. Sakamaki was found by a Hawaiian soldier, David Akui, and was taken into military custody. When he awoke, he found himself in a hospital under American armed guard. After the war he returned to Japan and found work with the Toyota Motor Corporation before retiring in 1987. Sakamaki died on November 29, 1999, aged 81.

This weeks selection is for Corabelle as Charlie Aznavour's poetic lyrics could equally apply to any one of us. As a woman who lived a full and interesting life I think she would have liked his Gallic accent. So sad to learn this lovely person has passed away. I miss her contributions to this BBS with her sense of humour and determined diligence in writing that book for her brother. Rest in peace sweet lady.
