It looks like the 11th Airborne will arrive at Leyte on November 11. My father will arrive with the 32nd ID three days later. They had to wait until then because the transports that brought the initial landing force had to turn around and go back to New Guinea to pick up the reinforcements.

Thanks ...interesting...now I know more about what my father was doing in October of 1944 (he was an 18 yr old on a Navy ship in Battle of Leyte)...He never spoke of it..my great uncle told me about it after my father died in 1984.
