We are crossing the Northern tip of Australia. They say the water is a little rough. Most of the Filipinos that are nurses, etc. are sick in their bunks. Gosh, it’s hot and I’m really weak. What I’d give for some food! I’d like a can of pears or peaches, but no such luck.

William A. Fairfield
(? — October 1975), Engineering officer for the 19th Bombardment Group, Clark Field, Pampanga. Evacuated to Australia on the SS Mactan, 1942.
