"After leaving Nagaski we went to Tinian and picked up two Army hospitals which we took to Kure, the great Japanese naval center in the Inland Sea where the Jap fleet hid. From Kure we went to Sasebo a great city of over a million inhabitants. Other Japanese cities visited were Hiro Wan and Nagoya. We were scheduled to bring Army men back to the States from Nagoya for demobilization but at the last minute our orders were changed and we were sent to Manila." ]]>2021-09-16T21:50:12-04:00

From San Francisco we carried Army troops out to Ulithi in the Carolines; then visited Manila, Batangas and Tacloban in the Philippine Isands. It was very hot there in June and we were glad to be sent down to Finchhaven near the southern tip of New Guinea where we found old friends in a hospital unit from Cleveland.
We brought a geodetic survey unit from New Guinea back to Manila, arriving July 9th when it was hotter than ever. July 14th we left Manila for the States, arriving at San Francisco Aug. 2nd. We were sent to Seattle Navy Yard for repairs and there we were when the bomb fell and the war was over.
It was hard to leave the States after the victory was won but as soon as our repairs were finished we proceeded to Tinian in the Marianas and loaded with part of the Second Marine Division which we took to Nagasaki. These were the first troops landed in Japan for the occupation. It was thilling to sail unopposed into enemy territory but appalling to view the frightful devastation caused by the Atomic bomb. We were restricted from going ashore there as there was believed to be some danger from radiation."]]>2021-09-16T22:00:52-04:00

Page thirty-six, group of photos captioned, “Our forces landed on Okinawa at dawn on Sunday, April 1st, 1945. The operation was accomplished smoothly and with only slight resistance from the Japanese but four days later the Kanirkazes came over and we were ordered back to Saipan, leaving the Marines on shore. The fighting on Okinawa became progressively more severe until it became known as the worst in the Pacific. The island was not secured until June 21, 1945.
