Quote: Here, one night approaching Valentines Day, the Japs hit us, destroying several Spits, but much worse, they hit our campsite, killing nine of the lads and injuring thirty who were immediately rushed to base hospital near Calcutta. The nine were buried the next day close by, with full Military Honours. A tragic Valentines Day for some mothers, wives and sweethearts."
