遅くなりましたが、461 クミトービン殿へのメッセージ⑧のコメントで「三食食事付きの家政婦の月収が約13円の時代なので、慰安婦は高給取りであったことがわかる」の英文が抜けていたのを、追加したのですが、最初の英文で抜けてしまい、申し訳ありません。

1.Soldiers 10AM to 5PM 1.50yen 20 to 30 minutes
2.NCOs 5PM to 9PM 3.00yen 30 to 40 minutes
3.Officers 9PM to12PM 5.00yen 30 to 40 minutes

山中様のご提案につきまして、慰安婦がどのくらい稼いでいたかの英文作成をしてみました。もっといい文章がありましたら、修正お願いします。参考日本人慰安婦の証言http://www.tamanegiya.com/kako/nihonnjinnniannfu20.8.27.html　その他

また大東亜戦争陸軍給与令はどういう英訳なのかわからず、ここはそのまま書いてしまった次第です（＞＜）。。

日本人の慰安婦は、外国人慰安婦よりも人数が多かった。慰安婦の６～７割が日本人女性と言われている。これらの女性は大金を稼ぎ、借金を返した。
The nember of the Japanese comfort women were larger than the foreign ones. It is said the 60%~70% of Comfort women were Japanese. Those women earned large amounts of money, and paid off the debts.

韓国人慰安婦の文玉珠は、第二次世界大戦中にビルマで大金を稼いだ。5000円を朝鮮にいる家族に送金し、残りを日本の郵便局に貯金したが、敗戦の混乱の中、彼女は預金通帳を紛失した。後に彼女は山口県下関市の下関郵便局を訪れ、貯金の原簿が見つかった。
Korean comfort woman whoes name was文玉珠earned ｍuch money in Burma in the World WarⅡ. She sent 5000yen to her family in Korea, and saved the rest in the Japanese post office, but she lost her savings passbook in the mess of defeat. Later, she visited the Shimonoseki post office in Yamaguchi Prefecture, and the original register of her savings was found.

27年後の平成４年に、文玉珠は日本を訴え、戦時郵便貯金の払い戻しを請求した。原簿によると43年6月から45年9月まで12回の貯金の記録があり残高は26,145円だった。しかし昭和40年に預金は失効したので敗訴した。
27years later, in 1992, 文玉珠 brought a suit against Japan, and claimed for refund of the postal savings in the wartime. There was a record of 12 times of savings from June of 1943 to September of 1945, and balance account was 26145 yen. But her postal savings expired in 1965, so she lost the suit.

文玉珠は2年3ヶ月で26145円稼いだ。毎月８７０円も貯金したことになる。当時の26145円は現在の貨幣価値で約1億円である!　昭和１８年大東亜戦争陸軍給与令によれば、２等兵の月給は７円５０銭で下士官である軍曹が２３円～３０円。戦地では給料が約２倍になったので、兵士の収入を平均は月額３０円程度だ。慰安婦が高級取りだったことがわかる。
文玉珠 earned 26145yen in 2years and 3months,which means she saved 870yen every month. The value of the then 26145yen is about 100 million yen now!　In 1943, according to the 大東亜戦争陸軍給与令, a monthly salary of Private was 7yen50sen(The then 1yen=100sen), a monthly salary of Sergeant was 23~30yen. A soldier was paid
double when he was in a battle field, so the average amount of a soldier’s monthly salary was about 30yen. So, you can see Comfort women ware highly paid.

広田和子著作、人物往来社から1975年出版の「証言記録　従軍慰安婦・看護婦　戦場に生きた女の慟哭」に、幾人かの日本人慰安婦についての話がある。
