Full title:Buddies in the long and bloody campaign to drive the Germans from Italy, Private Russell Buss, Los Angeles boy
and veteran of the 85th Division, and S/Sgt. Jack Kawamoto, Nisei vet of the 442nd are together again at Dibble General Hospital,
Menlo Park, Palo Alto, California. Russell and Jack fought together in Italy until a German sniper carved out one of Jack's
eyes and part of the other at Leghorn, July 10, 1944. Shortly afterwards, Pvt. Buss also became a casualty and in due time
the two met again in Dibble hospital. The Nisei is a brave, alert and excellent soldier, said Pvt. Buss. There are none better--none
braver. I am proud of my Nisei buddies. S/Sgt. Jack has devoted much time to speaking at public meetings throughout Central
California in the interest of relocation.<lb/> Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru<lb/> Palo Alto, California.
