This is Ron Marcello interviewing John Plath Green
for the North Texas State University Oral History
Collection. The interview is taking place on
February 6, 1974, in Denton, Texas. I'm interviewing
Mr. Green in order to get his reminiscences and
experiences and impressions while he was one of the
officers in charge of the American team that went
into Japan at the conclusion of the war and liberated
the American and other Allied prisoners who were in
Japanese prisoner-of-war camps.
To begin with, why don't you just very briefly
give me a biographical sketch of yourself. In other
words, tell me where you were born, when you were
born, your education, your occupation--things of that
nature. Be very general and brief.
I was born in Dallas, Texas, on what was called "Ignorant
Hill" on Sunday, December 11, 1910.
What was the name of the hill?
