Yuki Kitaoka

AJAs of the 298th and 299th Infantry Regiments are placed in a provisional infantry battalion that later becomes the 100th Infantry Battalion (Separate).

Beginning in June 1942, the 100th Battalion trains at Camp McCoy, Wisconsin.

In December, Yuki joins Takashi in Sparta, near Camp McCoy. Unaccustomed to winter, she faces new challenges.

When the 100th Battalion in January 1943 is assigned to Camp Shelby, Mississippi, she goes alone to Chicago.
