My grandfather was in China from about 1902 to 1929 where he served in the Postal Service as a Commissioner. He travelled all over China and Japan as well (my grandmother's mother was Japanese).
I still remember him saying once, "The Japanese are very nice people until they put on a uniform."
A whole branch of our family was totally displaced after the invasion of Manchuria but luckily we only lost one in a POW camp.
