EXECUTIVE CHAMBERS HARTFORD
To Connecticut Veterans of World War II:
Connecticut men have written brilliant pages in the military history of this nation since the days of Bunker Hill. Indeed, in days of peace Connecticut men prepared for war so well that they always have been among the first to fight.
In this, the greatest of all wars just ended, you, as a son of Connecticut, have courageously and faithfully main­tained
that tradition. In fact, you have raised it to new heights. You have added to the enduring list of victories, immortal names — Rendova Island, Kasarine Pass, Munda, Sicily, Weewak, Cassino, Luzon, Anzio, Normandy, the Ardennes Bulge, and more.
Chance and talents assigned many of you to tasks along the supply routes, in hospitals and at bases, or to toil and sweat in such places as the Lido Road and along the Persian Gulf. All these made victory possible. Connecticut men, too, played a glorious role in that part of the victory which is credited in the ledgers of history for the Air Force.
Your fellow citizens in Connecticut are highly proud of. your service. And they are very, very grateful.
Yours very sincerely
Governor
HERE ARE THEIR STORIES
War correspondents of World War II frequently added bravado and flamboyancy to many a modest soldier's story. The aggregate result pleased editors, made headlines, and, on occasion, embarrassed the soldiers. In retaliation, the correspondents and their victims were labelled, in characteristic G. I. language, " Joe Blow". Actually, the " Joe Blows" were few and far between in this Army. The purpose of these stories is to record without embellishment, the mood, the impressions, the exciting events, of the worst and best of the great days, before time blurs memories with resulting confusion as to events, dates and places. These are soldiers' stories, here recorded as near verbatim as possible in soldiers' words — The Editor.
Angelovich, Louis M., T/ 5, 809th Engr. Av., 12th Air Force, Terryville.
" The African landing was the worst three days in my thirty- eight months over­seas.
We didn't get anything to eat for three days and we hit a lot of bad weather, while sleeping in pup- tents that blew away in the middle of the night. We built air­fields
at Algiers, Telergma, Eaux Le Bains and Sousse."
Boies, Clayton S., Pfc, 130th Gen. Hosp., ( Sep.), Seymour.
" The Bulge is what I remember best. I wasn't in it but I was close. We evacua­ted
our hospital and the Germans came on and they got to within a half mile of it when the 2d Armored stopped them cold."
Bowe, Carl W., T/ 5, 362d Armd. Sq., ( Sep.), Farmington.
" I spent much of my spare time, in­cluding
two furloughs in England, with an English family in Leicester. It wasn't too exciting but I really enjoyed the home cooked meals. They were the high spot of every other weekend. They asked me oftener but I couldn't see it with their rationing setup. They were a nice f amity and I was one of them."
Brace, Edward H., S/ Sgt., 23d Bmb. Sq., 5th Group., 13th Air Force, Rock ¬ ville.
" I got a bird's- eye view of three inva­sions,
Cebu, Tarakan and Balikpapan. We flew over the invasion fleets and the ships massed off shore. I think the support the boys on the ground got irom the Air
Force and the Navy was excellent. Our outfit's nickname was the ' Bomber Barons.' "
Brunei, Paul A., S/ Sgt., 234th Cmbt. Engr. Bn., 1st Army, Bridgeport.
" Mine was Omaha Red on D- Day in an LST, and our third night out of Wey­mouth,
England, Jerry bombers bombed, strafed and missed us. We get to the beach and everything happens. It was the most organized confusion I ever hope to see. I doubt very much if the true casualty lists of that day will ever be known. The Devil took care of his own or we wouldn't be here. We lost a lot of good men there."
Curto, Rocco, T/ 5, Q. M. Co., 88th Div., Hartford.
" For the first push on May 11 near Mintorno, I was sent forward to help cook for the boys lined up in trucks there to move up the combat men as needed. It was quiet there when I arrived, the trucks were all lined up, and the boys were ex­cited,
going into combat for the first time. They took off just as our forward big guns opened up and ' Axis Sally' went off in the air. It was a beautiful sight with the sky all red from artillery fire and roar of exploding shells and bombs. Next morning we get the word back that Santa Maria and Mintorno have been taken. I'll remember that May 11a long time."
D'Ambrosio, Frank P., Sgt., 406th Ftr. Bmb. Grp., 9th Air Force, New Haven.
" The first time we got the buzz bombs
CONN. STATE LIBRARY at Ashford they started coming over at 11 o'clock at night, on D- Day plus 6. They came over after that in formations. You couldn't tell what they were. We thought they might be paratroopers landing. Everyone at the airdrome was out with rifles and pistols and even stones. I'll never forget that night."
De Maio, Joseph P., Pfc, Hq., 726th Tank Bn., ( attached) 6th Div., West Haven.
" The three good days I had in the service were the three days I met my young brother, Lou. I got into it first and I met him in Hawaii in September ' 43. He was just in from the Aleutians, and I was stationed in Hawaii. Eighteen months later we met again on Leyte. He was just back from the hospital and I just finished up with the fighting there. Seven months later we were both on the way home and we met in the railroad station at White- fish, Montana. Today we are being dis­charged
together."
De Maio, Louis J., Pfc, Co. E., 17th Inf., 7th Div., West Haven.
" I was in four invasions and they were all rough except the Marshall Islands which was a picnic. It was easy, like a maneuver. My two worst days were the two days I got hit. Once, in the leg in the Philippines and the second time, in the head, on Okinawa. When I think about it all now, it's hard to believe."
Donavan, Robert J., T/ 3, Hq., N. A. S. C., Hartford.
" I'll remember longest the friends I made in the service in Africa, and I'll never forget the Arabs. In three years you get to know a friend, when you work and eat and sleep and fight with him. The Arabs are the dirtiest, filthiest people on earth. They grow fat on dirt. They're a bunch of thieves, taught to steal before they can walk. The one thing I learned is that there's no place like home."
Donnelly, James H., Sgt,, 88th Ftr. Sq., 80th Ftr. Grp., 10th Air Force, Bridgeport.
" I drove a truck on the Lido Road, Lido, Assam, and Mytchuou, in the area where Merrill's Marauders and the Chinese fought Japs. It was tough going, often so muddy we couldn't make over two miles an hour. And the mud was so deep it would pile up in front of the bumpers. Once washouts behind and ahead of us marooned us for three weeks. Not too bad; we slept in the trucks and had plenty of K- rations. I wouldn't take a job like that in civilian life for a hundred bucks a week."
Ewen, John J., Pfc, Hq. Btry., 19th F. A. Bn., 5th Div., West Hartford.
" I started my overseas service in Ice��land
in April 1942. Iceland was boring and monotonous as hell. There was noth­ing
to do. The women were pretty but they wouldn't have anything to do with us. Then it was England and Ireland, and on July 10, France. I was with the Fifth for four years."
Gardin, Herman E., T/ 4, 234th Port Co., 6th Army, Bridgeport.
" I was over there twenty- two months and it was tough. When I first got over there I thought we was going to have it soft, and then after a spell I wanted to see some action. Then we hit Nuna Island. There's where the hell started, brother. All of a sudden we're hunting for foxholes and there ain't any and we're running from tree to tree, and trying to make little. Something was coming over. They said it was Zeroes. I didn't have no fox­hole
then, but brother, I had one the next time a Zero came over."
Geruch, Joseph M., T/ 5, 809th Engr. Av., 12th Air Force, Naugatuck.
" What I'm looking forward to in civilian life is the chance to do what I want when
4
I want, at least half the time. The hardest time I had over there was D- Day in Sicily. I went in an hour after the 45th Division. Everything was in a turmoil. For a while everybody was tied up on the beaches and they couldn't get things organized. That was the first amphibious invasion and they learned how to do it better there."
Gigliotti, Joseph, Pvt., 11th Ftr. Grp., 7th Air Force, Danbury.
" At Tarawa it was bad — the worst. Air raids every night for two months. One night last November a 500 pound bomb dropped about 200 feet from the hole I was in. An engineer outfit along side of us took some losses. Me, I didn't get a scratch!"
Gilmore, Maurice J., T/ 4, Co. D., 118th M. D. Bn., 43d Div., New London.
" Me, I met a friend from New London just as we went ashore on D- Day on San Fabian Island in the Philippines. He was out of - equipment and so was I, so we traded back and forth until we were both fixed up. The shells were pouring in on the beach from the mountain and an LST 200 yards away blew up from a direct hit. We handled a lot of casualties that day and a lot of our dead the next."
Goeury, Andre H., Sgt., 334th Ftr. Sq., 4th Ftr. Grp., 8th Air Force, Meriden.
" I was with the Eagle Squadron. We had a lot of good days over there and a lot of rough ones. The roughest day I had was in London when a 1,000 pound bomb dropped 50 to 75 feet away from the house I was in. The house went up in the air and came down again. Nothing was left but a pile of rubbish. Seven civilians were killed. I didn't get a scratch. The bomber was hit and fell not too far away and killed 21 more civilians."
Hare, William M., Sgt,, 528th A. A. A. Bn., 6th Army, Thompsonville.
" The biggest raid we were in was on
Guadalcanal in June ' 43. One hundred and thirty Jap planes gave us everything they had. They came over just at dinner time and our gun got in only four rounds before our fighters intercepted. The air fight went on for about an hour. When it was all over I was still in the foxhole. They told us that only 98 out of the 130 Japs got back to their bases. Thinking about it now, I don't regret the three years I spent in the Pacific."
Hatak, Henry, Pfc, Ren. Co., 803d T. D. Bn., 1st Army, Manchester.
" The worst spot for me was at Le Haye- Deppuits in Normandy in June ' 44, when I got blown off a hedgerow. I was on duty as a forward observer when a German shell that we took to be an 88 hit the side of the hedgerow, while we were sitting right on top of it. The concussion blew me arm over tea kettle, but I didn't get a scratch and later found the nose of the shell, still red hot. I don't know how the hell we ever got out of there. It was a tough spot."
Haviland, Harold A., T/ 5, Hq. Co., 3d Armd. Engr. Bn., 3d Armd. Div., Stamford.
" The Bulge was our worst. It was the toughest fighting. The weather was against us; we couldn't get much air support. Our outfit was hit pretty hard there, but I was lucky all through. When I think it all over now I'm glad I went over. I'd rather get there and get it over with. I've seen a lot I wouldn't have seen other­wise,
and a lot of Europe — and I ap­preciate
Connecticut more than ever after that."
Hurwich, Benjamin, T/ 4, 373d Bn., A. A., 6th Army, Hartford.
" The thing I'll remember is ' a busman's holiday', a trip into the mountains of New Hebrides. We got lost and wandered around for five or six hours until we
6
wound up at dark on the edge of a great high cliff; after a night with no rations we were rescued by a search party. I wasn't particularly scared, we knew they'd come after us."
lannarone, Ralph A., T/ Sgt., 313th Trp. Carr. Grp., 9th Army, Bridgeport.
" The worst night I flew was in July 1943, from Africa to Sicily carrying para­troopers
for the invasion. We got in all right, the jump was okay and we started back. As soon as we hit the coast our own Navy opened up — bad, I'll say it was. The papers say the Navy knocked down 28 of our troop carriers, but we were sure it was more than that."
Jeffries, James, Cpl., Btry. B., 192cl F. A. Bn., 43d Div., Stamford.
" My most pleasant memory of the Pacific is the day we landed in New Zea­land
in October 1942. It was the nearest thing to home that we saw in the three years over there. The worst place we struck was New Caledonia, where we spent two months in 1943. We were that far from civilization that it was pathetic. We had a lot of dealings with the French over there, as when they were doing business with our boys they were nothing but clip artists."
Kashman, Julian C, Sgt,, 47th T. C. Sq., 313 T. C. Grp., 9th Air Force, Hart­ford.
" Africa in ' 43 was the worst. Terrific heat, lousy living conditions and poor food. We had maintenance operation of a temporary field. It was a long, tough grind."
La Bella, Dominick W., Pfc, 393d Engr., S. S. Rgt, ( Sep.), Cos Cob.
" We built sausage camps, floating decks and hospitals in England and France. We were construction troops. The best seven months I had over there I spent in the kitchen. The other guys got
the stew and we got the steaks. I lived two months on ' Buzz Bomb Alley' in England. Everytime you just got to sleep the buzz bombs would come over and we'd have to leave the blankets and hit the dirt."
Laffin, Charles W., T/ Sgt., 78th Fgt. Control Sq., 12th Air Force, Hartford.
" You forget the hundreds of exhausting, run- of- the- mill days and remember those few that brought a little happiness and cheer. There was the time I ran into my former civilian pal, then T/ Sgt. Wilfred LaVoie, in Casablanca, shortly after the invasion. What a flood of pleasant memo­ries
flashed through my mind at the sight of his familiar face! And I'll never forget calling all our attacking planes by radio­telephone
from my ground position in the Po Valley on the final day of the Italian campaign. When I informed them that the Krauts had surrendered, and it was ' finito' in Italy, and that they could return to their bases, their excited re­actions
sure were music to my tired ears."
Luciano, Anthony C, T/ 4, 81st Ord. Co., 10th Army, Hamden.
" Thirty- nine months overseas seemed like thirty- nine years to me. The worst night was on Okinawa when we had twelve air raids. We didn't get much sleep. I was more excited than scared. That's the night I saw one of those Jap suicide planes dive into one of our ships just off shore. I saw the plane hit. He came right down into a suicide dive, and the ship exploded. It looked bad."
Mason, Arnold S., T/ 5, Co. A., 102d Inf., ( Sep.), Columbia.
" My story is five years in the service and forty- four months overseas — and no action. When they broke our regiment out of the 43d Division, we went to Christmas Island as a task force protecting an airfield for ten months. I was brought back after
8
that to Hawaii and transferred to Co. F., of the 106th Infantry, 36th Division, for seven months' island defense duty. Next it was the 279th Pigeon Company, eight months' duty on Maui. Then two months with the 3117th Signal Service Battal­ion,
and I finished up with the 3346th Signal Base Depot."
Maturo, John E., Cpl., 780th Sq., 465th Bmb. Grp., 15th Air Force, New Haven.
" Our roughest time was in a bomb area explosion in Italy just before V- E Day. The cause of the explosion was never deter­mined,
but fifty bombs went up. Fifteen of our fellows, with two of my buddies, died there."
Mcintosh, Robert E., Sgt., 424th Q. M. Co., ( Sep.), Thompsonville.
" I got a Mediterranean tour out of this war— Oran, Algiers, Bizerte, Naples and Rome. In Rome twice, I saw St. Peter's Cathedral and Pope Pius. I was fortunate enough to have a rosary touched by the Pope. They are now my wife's beads and she values them very highly."
Mollica, Rosario, S/ Sgt., 907th Sig. Co., Av. Dpt., 12th Air Force, Naugatuck.
" I was in thirty- two and a half months — too damn long. The most impressive thing I saw was an air raid at Bizerte, which came in just ten minutes after we saw a Bob Hope show. It looked like the Fourth of July, tracers going up, lights flipping. Bob Hope gave a wonderful show, too. It was there I saw my first plane fall, about a half mile away."
Mudrey, Edward V., Pfc, 528th A. A. A. Bn., ( Sep.), Shelton.
" One time on Morati, Netherlands East Indies, a light bomb landed about twenty feet from the hole I was in — it was the closest for me. Those Pacific islands all look alike, every one of them. They are all hot and you can't get away
from them. From a ship — just looking at them — they look good. When you get ashore it's just another island, like you left to come there."
Murray, Winthrop L., Pfc, Cj. L., 169th Inf., 43d Div., New Haven.
" New Georgia was as bad as anything because we weren't fully equipped and we had to fight with what we had. The sup­plies
really hadn't gotten in like they should have. The nights with the Japs in­filtrating,
the job we had getting our wounded out under sniper fire and the fact that the coral formations made fox­holes
almost impossible to dig, all added up and made it really tough. I wouldn't give a thin dime to go through it again but I wouldn't take a million for the ex­perience
and the chance to see the world."
Pacelli, Louis A., T/ 4, 389th Trans. Corps, 5th Army, New Haven.
" We were bombed off the SS Washing­ton
at Salerno. It was 3 A. M. and fires broke out. We got the signal to abandon ship three hours later, and just after that the fires reached the TNT in the forward hole and she blew up with a tremendous explosion. It shook us out of the foxholes we had reached on shore, after jumping ship and making a 25 minute swim for land. Quite a few were lost."
Pavlich, Stephen R., Pfc, 518th M. P. Bn., 1st Army, Bridgeport.
" What impressed me most in Europe was the destruction of the cities and towns in France, Belgium and Germany. The air force and the artillery did a thorough job on those cities. They were nothing but a broken mass of wreckage and crushed bricks and stones. It will take a good fifty years to rebuild them, and I hope it takes longer than that in Germany, and we won't have any more wars. I volunteered to get in in 1941, and I'm glad to be home."
10
Riley, Joseph J., Jr., T/ 4, Hq., 43d Div., Bristol.
" One of the things I'll remember is running into a fellow from Bristol in Manila. I hadn't seen him for four years. Because we happened to meet in front of the Red Cross and we were short of pesos, we settled for doughnuts and coffee. I had been back to the States and was able to give him a report on his folks, his girl and the ' Bell Town.' "
Robinson, Neil S„ Sgt., 48th T. C. Sq., 313th T. C. Grp., 9th Air Force, Old Green­wich.
" The invasions made the most vivid impressions. The number of planes and gliders launched make for the biggest thrill. It was the climax of your work. I saw our planes off on eight invasions; Sicily, Salerno, Normandy, four in Hol­land,
and Germany."
Santoro, Luigi, Pfc, Co. C, 41st Inf., 2d Armd. Div., New Haven.
" The toughest fighting we saw was at Tunis in Africa in 1942. That was our first combat and we were young and green. The boys learned a lot from that cam­paign
and they put it to good use later. We learned how to fight a German, which way to get at him and how to demolish him. The closest shave I had was at Ubach, Germany, in October ' 44, when I was blown off a tank in action and took a month in the hospital for it."
Smith, Warren T., S/ Sgt., 10th Gen. Hosp., ( Sep.), New Haven.
" The months we spent in the States were a waste of time but I wouldn't trade my overseas experience for anything. There was something new all the time because we were pioneering in work with combat fatigue cases. It was exciting because we were close enough to share the experience at the front. And we thought we were actually accomplishing something."
Zax, Irving, S/ Sgt., 463d Bmb. Grp., 772d Bmb. Sq., 15th Air Force, Hartford.
" Two things impressed me over there. The people of Naples, filthy, dirty and lacking in morals, and the ancient Roman ruins excavated at Pompeii. Looking back at my time in the service, I think I learned something as a crew chief on a B- 17 and I think I went in as a kid and came out a man."
The Men Are Coming Home
Connecticut men are coming home by the thousands from both the European and Pacific Theaters of War. They come in every size and type of vessel that floats, ranging from the little War Shipping Administration freighters that carry fif­teen
to thirty men, to Victory ships that provide passage for nearly 2,000, up to the great liners like the S. S. America, renamed the U. S. S. West Point, and to the Queen ships of the Cunnard line, which carry nearly 15,000 men on each homeward trip.
The big boats, notably the Queens, arrive in a blaze of publicity and head­lines,
but it is the WSA fleet that really piles up the total, and accounts for better than 85 per cent of it.
That fleet of 470 vessels, consisting of 20 passenger liners and 450 cargo type ships, converted to troop transports at a cost of $ 250,000,000, have a total carrying capacity of a half- million men. The fleet includes ships ranging in troop carrying capacity from 550 to 6,000 each.
In addition to the WSA fleet, some 250 combat type vessels, constructed by the U. S. Maritime Commission for the Army and Navy, are being used, chiefly in the Pacific. Even LSTs " do their bit."
Approximately 15,000 Connecticut men according to estimates based on all over figures were returned from Europe be­tween
V- E Day and V- J Day.
11
CONNECTICUT AT WAR
Official figures on the number of Con­necticut
men in the armed services during World War II are as yet unavailable. The best estimate, from the State Selective Service Headquarters, is 250,000, the same source reports 182,162 men from Connecticut were drafted prior to V- J Day.
The estimate on the total number in­dicates
that an additional 70,000 Con­necticut
men were members of the Con­necticut
National Guard, were com­missioned
from civilian life, or volunteered for the various branches of the armed services.
Official Navy figures as of June 30, 1945, list 61,915 Connecticut men were serving in the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard.
Selective Service reports a total of 33,833 Connecticut men discharged from the armed services prior to V- J Day.
These figures provide as basis for an estimate that there were 125,000 to 140,000 Connecticut men in the Army as of V- J Day, September 2, 1945.
The Fort Devens Separation Center, originally set- up in June to separate 300 men per day under the point discharge system, had tripled its output as of the date of publication of this booklet.
Including the 525 men, whose names are listed in this booklet, a total of 5,254 Connecticut men have been separated at Devens since September 1, 1945.
Army policy on place of separation has been changed several times to meet current conditions. The original policy called for separating most Connecticut men from the Army at Fort Devens, the exceptions being separations at hospitals or in in­dividual
cases for varying reasons.
The Fort Devens Center was over­loaded
during September and subsidiary separation centers were established: Grenier Field, N. H. and Westover Field, Mass., for the Air Force, and at Camp Edwards, Mass., for the Army Zone of Interior.
In late September it was announced officially that Devens would continue to be the major separation center for Con­necticut
men of the Army, and that the subsidiary centers would close by Decem­ber
1. Grenier Field in mid- October had separated © nly a few Connecticut men, but an undetermined number of Connecticut men had been separated at other centers, notably at Westover Field, Mitchell Field, L. I., N. Y., Fort Dix, N. J., and elsewhere because Devens was overloaded.
