Japanese were coming in so his division was sent to Australia. They were all loaded on a boat; However, all the nurses were left behind and captured as there was not enough room for them. Later they came back to the Phillipines Isle of Lusan Bay, landed at night because they were going to take over Lucan Bay. They were promised that gunboats would be waiting on the Bay and they would start shooting, but no boats were waiting. The boats arrived after three days for backup.
