well, January, actually.

"Two local hunters on the Pacific island of Guam stumbled across a hunched-over man in filthy clothing
late one January afternoon as he was setting handmade shrimp traps in a remote jungle stream.
The two men had lived through the brutal Japanese occupation of Guam during the war
and knew exactly what they had found. Before the wild-eyed man could escape, they grabbed him,
tied his hands behind his back, and marched him at gunpoint to the island authorities,
who could scarcely believe the story he had to tell."
