April 21, 1945

21- _____ ship got underway at (900) _ had AA once during night & GQ early this morning _ We bombarded all night & most of day _ we stop at 1800 (6.PM) _ had AA twice tonight once at 1945 & again 2015. ___ (x)
_____ (Dope going around is we might go back to get turrit II repaired.) Sure hope its the states.
_______________

(x) = no clue. Could be he was trying to convert the time and was too tired.

Photo shows a perfect smoke ring blown by one of the big guns during bombardment.

Hi Eleana

Thanks for putting this together.
I haven't gone through the entire piece yet. I especially like the bio information. Can you locate a few photos of your mom, dad, my dad or grand mom too. I'd appreciate it.
Thanks again. I know how much work you invested,

You welcome to visit me in Atlanta anytime.
