AUGUSTA, Ga.—Edward Yar
borough, fprmer Augustan, and
his wife, have just returned to the
United States after three years of
internment in the Philippines.
Until January 3, 1942, Mr. Yar-
b- cugh was acting manager of the
office of the International Busi
ness Machine Company in Manila.
Working with him was an office
staff of thirty-four people—thirty-
three Filipinos and one Chinese—
with whose help he was able to
keep the office operating for al
most a year after he was interned.
In January, 1942, Mr. and’ Mrs.
Yarborough were interned at Santa
Tomas University and at the time
of their internment were sepa
rated and were not reunited until
almost eight . ~nths later. After
eighteen months at Santo Tomas,
Mr. and Mrs. Yarborough were
transferred to another internment
camp.
For the more than two thousand
internees of this camp, the period
of internment was a battle of
nerves and hunger, Mr. Yarbor
ough revealed. Those civilians who
were belligerent or who ridiculed
the Japanese were physically
harmed, but always there were the
threats and the exasperating rules
and regulations. Husbands and
wives were not allowed near each
other because of the “demoralizing
effect on the Japanese guards.”
There were orders to keep eyes
downcast when American planes
appeared in the sky over Manila.
And always there was hunger.
The greatest diet deficiency was

in proteins, Mr. Yarborough stat
ed, so the internees ate anything
that would supply them. Those
who were fortunate enough to
h ve money and native friends,
could, 'or exorbitant prices (corn
ed beef at $25 a can) buy food to
supplement their vermin infested
rice diet. Four hospital ships
we .eeded to return the unfor
tunates from this camp.
For ma y days before the Amer
ican troops arrived, the forests
surrounding the camp were bomb
ed to clear the way for liberation.
Evidence of American occupation
rumbled through days and nights,
and the Japanese made prepara
tions to evacuate the camp. Early
on the morning if February 23,
this year, Mrs. Yarborough was
working in the compound when
she heard planes overhead. Al
though there were orders that no
one was to “look up”, each inter
nee had his own camouflage for
seeing what was going on in the
air. Mrs. Yarborough sought her
hidden observation post and saw
tiny black objects dropping from
the planes above. At first she
thought the camp was being bomb
ed, but when parachutes opened
she knew this was the day for
which thousands of people had
waited three years. These were
American paratroopers. That was
at 7 a. m., and it was learned that
the Japanese had planned to burn
tfca barracks at 9 a. m.
The next day the internees were
moved to Bilibid, still two miles
behind the Japanese lines, but
time passed and the Yarboroughs
found themselves on a ship head
ed for home.
Born in Augusta, Mr. Yarbor
ough is the son of Mrs. Henry Yar
borough, of Denver. His mother
was before her masriage, Miss
Kate Gasquet, of Columbia, S. C.
Among his relatives in Augusta are
three sisters of his late father,
Mrs. S. M. Sylvester, Miss Anita
Yarborough and Miss Edythe Yar
