[LIFE Magazine 1945, "Santo Tomás Is Delivered" by Carl Mydans, p 25–29] (Caption - left photo) In the main patio the internees go on with the quiet routine of their prison lives while the Japanese are still holding out in the Education Building next door. Below is the university gym, where 400 sick old men live. Many of the men are too weak to leave their beds. Sometimes, there were as many as 600 of them in this one big room. (Caption - Top Right) A sad-eyed mother sits on a step with her children outside one of the university buildings. Many children were born during the internment. ________ (Caption in middle of page) "After the first shock of happiness, the Americas in Santo Tomas found that one day of freedom could not repair the damage of 37 months of imprisonment. Their bodies were still wasted by hunger. The youths, were pale and gangling and the old people were shrunk to the bone. Hundreds of the internees were feeble and sick with diseases of malnutrition. The children, who were fed the best, were the healthiest. Imprisonment had left other marks. There were some people who walked staring straight ahead, without looking to the right or left. When correspondents spoke with them, they shuffled with a strange restlessness. Everyone walked with the deliberate tread of people whose movements are limited by walls. There was also a tired politeness, something gentle and hopeless about their manner. Very few of the Americans interned in Santo Tomas plan to come back to the United States. Their home is Manila. Said one old man, "We know our boys are doing their darnedest to clear the Japs out of there, but we can't help wishing they'd hurry." _________ (Caption -Photo Bottom right) "An emaciated father feeds his son out of a tin can.

[LIFE Magazine 1945, "Santo Tomás Is Delivered" by Carl Mydans, p 25–29] (Caption in photo) "Ernest Stanley was one of the interned Workers. He was fluent in the Japanese language and became the interpreter between the internees and the Japanese. During the liberation of Santo Tomas, his diplomacy probably saved many lives." (Caption below photo) _____________________________________________________________ (Caption below Photo) "March through Manila, led by Brady (left), Hayashi and Stanley, took the Japanese through deserted streets. Near the end of the march some Filipinos ran across the road and the nervous Japanese soldiers broke for cover. Shamed by loss of face, Hayashi and his officers, who were left standing in the road, coaxed their men out and went off toward their own lines." - 19 PA Doylestown

Newspaper article about Ernest Stanley and his role in saving the hostages when Santo Tomas was liberated. Ernest Stanley was born in England in 1901 and entered the work by 1924 at the latest, perhaps earlier. His name appears on early workers lists in England, California and Japan. He went to Japan a few years before the war and evidently was quite fluent in Japanese by the time the war broke out. In June, 1941, the workers left Japan and went to the Philippines. He was one of the workers interned at Santo Tomas and until the war ended, he was made an interpreter because of his fluency in Japanese. This New York Times article is about his testimony regarding Japanese war crimes and an atrocity that he witnessed. After the war he continued in the work in Japan for a few years, at least until 1948. He married a Japanese lady, adopted a son and lived in Tokyo the rest of his life. Their home seemed to be the center of activities for the work in Japan until his death in Tokyo in 1990. He was credited with being very helpful to the American civilian internees during the Los Banos, Philippines interment. He appears in Clio Mathews Wetmore's book entitled "Beyond Pearl Harbor" (1998) as one of the unsung heroes of Santo Tomas. - LIFE Santo Tomas Delivered 1945-03-05
