The foregoing testimony is all that I am now able to remember. Joseph J. Bush JOSEPH JESSE BUSH Sgt. ASN 6565492 Subscribed and sworn to before me this 10th day of Nov 1945. Robert M. Musick ROBERT M. MUSICK CAPT. M.A.C. ASST ADJUTANT Interviewed by Frank N. McGee, Agent, SIC STATE OF CALIFORNIA : : SS County of Los Angeles : JOSEPH JESSE BUSH, Sergeant, ASN 6565492, permanent home address 827 “O” Street, Fresno, California, being first duly sworn, deposes and says: I entered the service on 6 March 1937 and was taken prisoner by the Japanese Imperial Army on 9 April 1942 at Bataan, while assigned to Hq and Hq Sqdrn 24th Pursuit Group. I remained a prisoner until 4 September 1945 on which date I was released after the surrender of the Japanese Army. On or about 3 March 1945, while I was a prisoner of the Japanese at Fukuoka, Japan, Camp # 4, Moji, Kyushu, I witnessed the beating of one Sgt. Bray who was attached to the 194th Tank Corps. Bray had gone to the air raid tunnel when he was not supposed to and one of the Japanese guards whom I knew by the name of Enui beat him with a wooden saber for about 5 or 10 minutes. When Bray fell to the ground as a result of the beating, this civilian guard, Enui, kicked him and otherwise mistreated him. As a result of the beating Bray was out of his head for a couple of days. At the time Bray was ill and had a high fever. I would describe Enui as being about in weight, about 25 years of age 5’11” tall, 165 pounds
