Mainly going around, well, the parties I worked was going where all the food dumps were out in the jungle part of Singapore. They wanted to confiscate all the tins of bully beef and biscuits and all that, and they had us working and taking it back from the jungle and putting them in houses where they'd probably shot all the Chinese.

So they used these houses for storage and scrounging all the stuff. Well that, of course that would have all eventually have been shipped back to Japan because we know that because when I went to Japan, we used to have the job of working, unloading the ships with all the loot that they brought in from down south.
