While you were in Kure, Ray, did you ever get a trip across to the island Miyajima? It was one of the most magical places I have ever been.

We used to replenish our medical supplies at the British Commonwealth General Hospital in Kure, Ray. I remember it was full of lovely Army nurses.
They obviously did a good job of patching you up.
