AI: Excuse me. Before we get into that, that part of your work with the surrender, I wanted to ask you a few more questions about your work with the Australians.

PB: Sure.

PB: Yes.

AI: And...

PB: Allied Translator Interpreter Service.

AI: Service.

PB: That's what the meaning was.

AI: Yes. And I wanted to ask you about some of the translations and interpretations you did. You mentioned that sometimes you would tap into the enemy lines and intercept their communications.

PB: Right.

AI: And sometimes you mentioned also the prisoners of war that you would have some interrogation. And at that point you would be face-to-face with the Japanese soldiers.

PB: Right.
