Full title:Emmet Duffy, Assistant State's Attorney, Pfc. Noboru Hokame, Hawaiian-born Japanese-American, and Pfc. Charles
P. Carroll visited the WRA offices in their convalescent leave. Hokame was a guest of Carroll's family at their home, 2102
S. Central Park, Chicago 23, Illinois. A member of the 100th Battalion which was later transferred to the 442nd Combat Team,
Hokame was wounded in Italy and France and wears the Purple Heart with an oak leaf cluster. Of Hokame's action on the front
lines, Carroll said, I'd rather fight with just one unit of Japanese-Americans than an entire Army of ordinary soldiers. These
boys mean business, and you have a better chance of coming out of a battle intact with them than anybody else I know in the
Army.<lb/> Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru<lb/> Chicago, Illinois.

WRA no. I-806
