Yes, I served ! During WWII, 40 months in the Pacific. HQ Btry 167 FA Bn 41st Inf Div.
We were chosen to be reinforcements for the Phillipine Is. Our 1st ship was there when P. H. was attack. They were sent back, immediately ! We then defended the N. W. coast against attack. Next arrived in Australia as the 1st. American Infantry Division. We were with The Aussie, "Home Guard" & Aussie's in Pt. Morsby plus Naval & air Force, the only defensive forces at that time.
After training, receiving more people, & supplies, took active action in New Guinea at Buna/Guna to recover lost territory, occupied by The Japanese. This action, started the breaking of enemy occupation, by landing to secure airstrips, from the enemy. Our Division & others took all of N. G. finally ending at Biak Island.
Then landings in The Phillipine Islands accomplished the same result, till the formation of a HUGE Task Force to invade Japan, which I flew over leaving The P. I.'s. Having all that time overseas, I left The Pacific, & was separated from service, some weeks before The Atomic Bomb was dropped.
Some of my comrades, never came back, so I salute them prayerfully, & those who also served, our country.
