Roy Matsui was sent to work as an interpreter at the P.O.W. Camp 101 at Angler, Ontario, a posting that disappointed him, as he had enlisted with the intention of participating in combat. He was also upset that he could not serve in southeast Asia with his five fellow students from the senior class. Some of his work at Angler involved censoring letters written in Japanese or English. He may have channeled some of his frustration into this work.
