French Indo China
That was Vietnam and its surrounds. It was a possession of France. The A-bombs had been dropped and there was no invasion of Japan. I did not have to go. Everything was very confused. Just ending High School, I knew a man who had been to Indo China on a tramp freighter.
For the sum of ten dollars, he and four other men bought five young (About 13 years old) girls and a big house.
They had their fun for a season. When they left, they freed the used girls and gave the house to them. Having the house would give the girls the resource to support themselves.
I do not know how they made out.
