Camp Oji Japan
After three and a half months in the jungle, I caught Hepatitis A from drinking well water. I was medevac'd out to Japan.
In hepatitis ward # 40. Professional heavy weight wrestler/actor Mike Mazurki and me.
L. to R. Felix and Willie, both from my unit D 2/1. Hit by booby trap in legs near Tam Ky in March 1969 after I had left unit.
Dan Walker snacking and resting which was the only thing to do in order to get well. At first we would sleep 20 hours a day.
SP/4 Bob Wyss catching up on the news.
Joe Way enjoying the rest. The beds were almost stacked on top of each other.
Captain Hamper never without a smile.
Corpsman Miller up to mischief with nurses aide.
Corpsman Sp4 Wolf passing out ice water.
Reminds me of "One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest."
The entertainment sure was a boost to our morale.
Doing the hula.
Father Andrew Drew.
Snow covered cherry blossoms.
Heading into Camp Zama which is where we would go to await orders after being fully recovered.
