The pictures had a special meaning for me. I was on Mindoro for
several months in 1945. I was in the 96th Infantry Division. We
made the landings on Leyte and Okinawa, and after the fighting ended
on Okinawa we went to Mindoro to rest up and receive replacements.
We were warned that Mindoro had the highest malaria rate in the
Philippines, and I remember it as an end-of-the world place. There
were many half-wild cattle, which belonged to people in Manila, not
the locals. It is where I saw three pygmies, each wearing only a
breech cloth and carrying a bow and a quiver of arrows. They came
down from the hills to seek protection from Japanese soldiers who
were settling in and stealing pygmy women.<br>
