Full title:When Mrs. Amy Higuchi, formerly of Heart Mountain, accepted employment as secretary in the War Relocation Authority
office in San Jose, Adolph Hitler was still at large, and her husband, Captain James J. Higuchi, Medical Officer of a Caucasian
battalion, was still on the trail that led to Berlin. Mrs. Higuchi had not seen her husband for two years although she remained
with him at various camps in this country until he went overseas. When it was announced after the fall of Berlin that several
troops would be sent directly to the Pacific Theater, Mrs. Higuchi resigned herself to another long wait before Captain Jimmy
comes marching home. Recently Mrs. Higuchi received a wire that her doctor husband had landed in New York and would arrive
home shortly for a thirty-day furlough before being sent to the Pacific Theater. She immediately resigned her position so
that she could be with Captain Jimmy every minute that he was on liberty. The popular young couple are shown here on the porch
of Mrs. Higuchi's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Iwagaki.<lb/> Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru<lb/> San Jose, California.
