Books about Futatabi:
New Book by Jim Thomas (July 2002) "Trapped With The Enemy!" Worth reading! Well done!
Primary Labor Use:
None- Civilians cut own wood for heat. Had to haul daily food from Kobe on heavy cart over the hills. Extremely exhausting detail as men were severely undernourished. Read interesting story of man who gave them extra food and cigars.

Futatabi Rosters: Guam Residents only taken to Japan at start of war. Included staff of PanAm, Capuchin Fathers, contractors, and retired military.
