A week later 100 more men joined them These men came from camp 336 Later these soldiers were sent to other places and camp number 322 moved in This company of soldiers stayed at this camp and helped

arrived a day ahead of the Japanese in order to pick up the Japanese as soon as they arrived by train and one day in September we saw bus loads of our new neighbors Up to this time no name had been given this camp so an article was in the Millard County published Chronicle asking for someone to suggest a name Several were sent in but none seemed as appropriate as “Topaz” which was sent in by June W Black Delta postmaster who suggested the camp be named after Topaz mountain located 20 to 25 miles to the north and west of the camp Some of the Japanese were uncontrollable in this camp so they were shippled to Tule Lake California and the population of Topaz was reduced to a maximum of 8778 making it the fifth largest city in Utah of the population were American citizens The Japanese people and all who worked there were given passes to travel outside the camp and had to be checked on going and coming in Guard houses were built at every entrance and it was the duty of the military police to check everyone Many soldiers were put on duty inside the city and all through the Topaz area Also all along the fence surrounding quarters Medical The Delta Community Center and the West
