Bill Moule recalls how his entire family ended up - and survived - in WWII Japanese concentration camp
Bill Moule's father replanted his family from Grass Valley to a mining operation in the Philippines in 1940, just as war clouds were building in Asia. When the Japanese invaded the Philippines on Dec. 8, 1941, the family would start an 18-month cat-and-mouse game with the Japanese Imperial Army in the mountains. It lasted until malaria took its toll on their health and they were captured. The family spent the next 18 months under Japanese guard – either behind barbed wire at a compound near the mountain city of Baguio or, later, in a converted Manila prison.
