Title:

Special trains are leaving from WRA relocation centers to return people of Japanese ancestry to their homes on the West Coast. On July 26, a train left the Rohwer Relocation Center at McGehee, Arkansas, to take people to Sacramento, Stockton, Lodi, Fresno, and Los Angeles. Pullman accommodations were provided for only the old and sick and for mothers with small babies, others rode in antiquated coaches. Mr. and Mrs. George Kaneko, U.S. citizens, and son, Byron, bid farewell to friends at the Block Mess Hall before they board the train for Los Angeles. Mr. Kaneko's father was also a U.S. citizen and he has a brother in the Army and a sister in the W.A.C. -- McGehee, Arkansas. 7/26/43
