Occupy Till I Come - John A Halford - May 1980

John A Halford

Second Lieutenant Hiroo Onoda had never thought of himself as anything special. And when he was conscripted into the Japanese Imperial Army in 1942, he expected only to do his duty. That was to fight - and, if necessary, to die - for his emperor and country. He never achieved high rank. He never stood at the forefront of a mighty army. Yet this ordinary Japanese soldier's story is one of almost incredible courage, endurance and loyalty. There is an important lesson in it for us today. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
