Three were in the U.S. Army during World War II . One was killed by a bomb while serving with the Japanese army, another died of wounds received when he fell from his horse on Okinawa after being shot at by an American soldier who mistook him for a Viet Two others stuck in Japan were too young to fight ; they served on U.S. side during Korean War .
