My Dad also served in New Guinea, with the 32nd Infantry Division. He said the environment was harder on him than the Japanese, who were mostly back in the jungle and starving.

Funny you should mention that. It was my thought too. And with Don Rickles aboard … I bet there were some good stories!

I wonder if Don Rickles ever said to the captain “You Dummy!”
