You're Top Poster: #42   | Japanese Sources I am an historian in Ottawa, Ontario and the author of The Battle of the St. Lawrence: The Second World War in Canada (Harper/Collins, 2004) andBaptism of Fire: The Second Battle of Ypres and the Forging of Canada, April, 1915 (Harper/Collins 2007. I am presently working on a book about the Pacific War and am interested in finding Japanese sources --specificially memoires by Japanese fighting in Hong Kong and Burma. Let me thank you in advance for your help. Sincerely, Nathan M. Greenfield |

You're Top Poster: #86  | Nathan We emailed each other a few years ago about the training/quality of the troops produced by Australia and Canada in 1915. My book came out last year and I see you completed yours too. As you are now working on the Pacific WWII and looking for Japanese sources do you plan to visit Japan? You cant go past the National Institute for Defence Studies in Tokyo. If you have any questions about the sources there ask away though I will say first up their collection is superb. Also the National Diet Library ( Tokyo also) has a full collection of the magazine "Maru" which is devoted to personal accounts and articles about Japanese soldiers. It has thousands of WWII personal accounts. Peter Williams |

You're Top Poster: #86 | Andy Yes, the Battle of Anzac Ridge is mine. Right now I am doing one on the Kokoda campaign. I went to Japan to see what they had in their archives on it and found more than enough material for a new angle on the campaign. Peter Quote:
