Arriving in Manila in March 1941, the couple and their baby bought what they thought they needed and proceeded to Cebu, where they were caught by the war. Imogene’s husband volunteered to serve the USAFFE, but after the Japanese landed on the island, the Carlsons sought refuge in the mountains. The threat of Japanese raids and difficult living conditions forced them to surrender to the Japanese, and they were interned in the University of the Philippines’ Junior College. Later, they were moved to the University of Santo Tomas until they were liberated. After the war, the family returned to Cebu and stayed there to continue their missionary work. - Prof. Ricardo T.
