              <text>After finishing training in Texas, Hi was sent to Australia and then the Philippines.  This "Christmas and New Year" card doesn´t specify, but it must have been celebrating Xmas, 1944 and Jan 1, 1945.  &#13;
&#13;
The name on the inside says "Cal", who might have been the recipient of the card.  Hi wrote on the back of the card that "this damn place (not sure if he is referring to the cock fight location or the country in general) is a lose (sic) from the word "go"".  </text>
