| Message | I was a member of an advanced Supply Group, sent to Milne Bay, New Guinea and later Samar, in the Philippies. We loaded and unloaded ships from New Zealand and Australia ferrying supplies to the forward combat zones. Since segregation was still in full bloom, I witnessed Race Riots in both Islands. Very sad to see friends die only because of color. I am 85 now and have never been able find any discussions of what the Navy Supply Units contributed to the War Effort. Also, I wonder if there is still anyone "out ther" who was in Milne Bay NG or Samar PI, 1944-45. Only two of us left, that I know of. |
