EXECUTIVE CHAMBERS HARTFORD
To Connecticut Naval Veterans of World War II:
Connecticut has a great seafaring tradition. In every war her men have fought gallantly for freedom. In days of peace her sons have officered and manned ships that have carried our American commerce everywhere in the world. Connecticut people are proud of that tradition.
In this greatest of all wars Just ended you, as a son of Connecticut, have courageously and faithfully maintained that tradition. Indeed, you have raised it to new glorious heights. You have added to that enduring list, started when Midshipman Nathaniel Fanning of Stonington took part in the historic encoun­ter
of John Paul Jones' Bon Homme Richard and HMS Serapis in 1779, immortal names - Macassar Straits, Java, Guadalcanal, Savo Island, Coral Sea, Santa Cruz, Midway and Lunga Point.
To the lot of some of you fell the burden of the train­ing
and supply services at home and in ports, great and obscure, the world over. In fact, there are now new ports for the air arm and for the fleet, some of which will endure as monuments to that new arm of the Navy, the Seabees.
Your fellow citizens in Connecticut are proud of your
service.
Yours very s i n c e r e l y,
Governor
HERE ARE THEIR STORIES
War correspondents of World War II frequently embellished and often overwrote the action stories of modest sailors. The aggregate result pleased editors, made headlines, and, on occasion, embarrassed the sailors. In retaliation, the correspondents and their victims were labelled, in characteristic service language, " Joe Blow". Actually, the " Joe Blows" were few and far between in this war. 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 Navy men's stories, here recorded as near verbatim as possible in their own words.— The Editor.
Acaster, Frank, F 1/ c, Waipio Am­phibious
Operating Base, Hartford.
" At Waipio in the Hawaiians we made up crews and got gear ready for invasions and landings all over the Pacific. We handled all kinds of landing craft and the personnel needed to man them when they went in against the beaches held by the Japs. I spent nine of my 21 months in the Navy at Waipio."
Aguistini, Frank, T., SM 1/ c, Repair Ship Bellerophon, Bridgeport.
" We were on our way out to Pearl Harbor after the war ended but were called back to the States. Before joining the Bellerophon, I was a signalman with several command staffs in Africa, England and France. Working on visual signals, I handled some pretty high- powered messages and couldn't afford to make any mistakes. After almost two years in the European theater, I was ready for a long siege in the Pacific when the war ended so suddenly."
Ayres, Danny H., S 1/ c, CASU- 56, South Norwalk.
" From New Guinea all the way up to the Philippines I worked on servicing those big B- 24s and the seaplane version of them, the PBY4. It was miraculous that some of those planes got back, con­sidering
the way they were damaged, but the crews were ready to go right out again against the Japs. The heaviest air raids we took ourselves were at Morotai, where the Japs lost many planes trying to knock out the bases there."
Barnes, Arthur, AMM 3/ c, Aviation Service Units, New Britain.
" The Japs really threw the air raids at us when we were based at Morotai. Things were being made ready for the invasion of the Philippines and the Japs knew that something big was in the wind. My outfit serviced PBY4s, which went on search, patrol and bombing missions. We went to Morotai after duty at Los Negros, and later we went into Mindoro, from where our big planes went into the China coast. Some of the planes were pretty well banged up when they came back, but we put them in flying shape and they were able to keep on working against the Nips."
Bateson, Robert C, Jr., F 1/ c, Waipio Amphibious Operating Base, Norwich.
" I worked in a ship's service store at Waipio on Oahu and we had a wonderful set- up. It was well- stocked and equipped and would compare with many a store in the States. We did business of more than $ 150,000 a month, which is a lot of money. We were kept busy every minute but it was interesting work and I learned a lot about merchandising work."
Biondi, Mario J., MoMM 3/ c, Cargo Transportation Units, Seymour.
" Handling the unloading and distribu­tion
of supplies and equipment was our job. Working at Leyte and Samar, we helped assemble the stuff for the invasions of Luzon and other islands of the Philip­pines.
While working on those thousands of tons of supplies, I'd sometimes wonder just how it had all been gotten together
3 and shipped far across the world from the United States. It was a tremendous job all around."
Caffrey, Leo J., WT 3/ c, Destroyer Hickox, Waterbury.
" The Hickox was part of Task Force 58 so we had all the action we wanted. We covered landings everywhere from the Marshalls to New Guinea and were in the two Battles of the Philippine Sea. There were plenty of close calls but we came through all right. It was quite a change for me when I was transferred to the Transport Rodman, which took part in the landings in the Philippines."
Chiaro, Pasquale, SF 1/ c, LST- 939, New Haven.
" I handled the laying of smokescreens during 105 days of steady air combat at Okinawa. We had a fog generator at the stern of the ship with a gasoline engine running it. We laid smokescreens of fog oil every night for those 105 days, giving the ships in our area some cover when the suicide planes came down from Japan and up from Formosa. I had all I wanted of air attacks at the Philippines and at Okin­awa."
Connolly, George W., S 1/ c, Cargo Ship Sagittarius, New Haven.
" Laying of anti- submarine nets at fleet anchorages was our assignment. We put nets down at Saipan, Tinian, Ulithi and Okinawa. After we'd first placed a net at Ulithi, a Jap sub slipped around the side of it and got one of our ships in the harbor so we had to enlarge the net and before we finished it was the biggest one we'd ever placed. We saw a lot of air action at Okinawa and we got credit for knocking down two Japs planes while we were working there."
Conroy, John P., PhM 1/ c, Hospital Ship Haven, Madison.
" We were the first non- combat ship and
the second American vessel of any kind to go into Nagasaki, going in with the Cruiser Wichita. While there we gave treatment to thousands of Allied prisoners of war, in­cluding
Americans, British and Dutch. Many of them were in bad shape, with malnutrition common. A large percentage were suffering from beriberi. They gave us some awful tales of the way the Japs had handled prisoners of war, and just the way they looked was proof enough of the stories they told. The Japs had given them all a horrible time of it."
Craw, Martin A., Jr., S 1/ c, Liberty Ship J. D. Ross, Bridgeport.
" I went on a voyage all around the world with the Ross, but it took us nine months to do it. We started from Balti­more,
went to England, then down into the Mediterranean, through the Suez Canal and across the Indian Ocean to India. After that the trip took us down around South Africa, into the South Atlantic, and back up to the United States. All but two months of the time I spent on the Ross was taken up by that long trip."
DiFederico, Hugo S., SF 2/ c, Tanker Neshanic, Waterbury.
" I was with the Neshanic when she was commissioned in February 1943 and just left her at Norfolk, where she's to be decommissioned, so I was with her all through her service. It's usually curtains when a tanker takes a bomb hit but we took one at Saipan and lived to tell about it. An incendiary landed on the cargo
THREE TRANSPORTS
They carried uncounted thousands of troops to and from the battlefields of World War II. All converted from passenger and cargo liners, they are the USS Fremont ( top), the USS Le Jeune ( center), and the USS Arthur Middleton. The Middleton was formerly the African Comet, built for the South American- Africa line, and the Le Jeune was formerly the SS Windhuk.

dock but we got the fire under control and then put it out. To even it up, we shot down two Nip planes at Saipan. Probably our biggest thrill was when we refuelled the Missouri off Japan, just before she went in for the Jap surrender ceremony in Tokyo Bay."
Doering, Joseph C, MM 3/ c, Attack Transport Edgecombe, East Hartford.
" Our ship was part of the Fifth Am­phibious
Force and we wrere in the big convoy that hit Okinawa on Easter Sunday, April 1. A few months later on we took the Army's 81st into Amori, Japan, which made us feel pretty good. We made five trips back with soldiers, sailors and marines from the Pacific, bringing them from Leyte, Saipan and Pearl Harbor. And those boys on their way home were a happy bunch. They didn't care about anything except that they were on their way back to the States, with the war behind them."
Fowler, Thomas R., Cox, Saipan Naval Air Station, North Branford.
" I was lucky enough to get to Saipan after the Jap air raids there had ended. We helped handle supplies and equip­ment
for all naval aviation units in the area. For hours each day I'd listen to the big B- 29s heading for Japan and then com­ing
in on their way back. They'd often wake me up at night as they started out on their missions but I knew what a wonderful job they were doing and that was one time I didn't mind so much about losing sleep. They really did a great job out there, those big bombers."
Gatti, Joseph J., S 1/ c, Victory Ship Wooster, Windsor Locks.
' The Wooster pulled into Baltimore in August, just before V- J Day, after a round- the- world trip that had started at California. We left from Long Beach, hit Australia, India and South Africa, then
came up through the Atlantic. Earlier I'd been with the armed guard on the Cor­nelius
Gilliam, a Liberty Ship, which car­ried
troops and supplies in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean."
Harding, George F., RdM 3/ c, Mine­sweeper
Pirate, Bridgeport.
" In some parts of the Pacific the Japs had sown mines by the thousands over huge areas and we were one of the ships that had to clear them out of the way. In the China Sea, between Okinawa and Formosa we had to sweep 8,000 square miles of ocean. In the process we set a new record, bringing up 14 mines in six minutes. Later we swept Japanese home waters and also the area off Korea. In the China Sea deal, American ships located more than 900 mines — most of them submarine mines."
Hassett, Thomas L., S 1/ c, Liberty Ship Bushrod Washington, Glastonbury.
" I was down in my quarters, taking a rest, when the ship was off Salerno. There was a terrific explosion and when I woke up I was on a hospital ship. I found out later that a German bomber had sneaked through and hit the Washington. The ship went down six hours later. I had stomach and chest injuries and I was under hospital care for six months at Italy, Bizerte, and in the States. The Washington had carried a lot of troops, ammo and supplies. It was a tough break that she had to go down."
Hutchings, Bernard, S 1/ c, Cargo Transport Robin Tuxford, Manchester.
" The runs from New York to England and France, and back, weren't any pleas­ure
cruises. No matter how many sub­marine
attacks I went through, each new one brought that old thrill. After leaving the Tuxford, I made some runs between the U. S., France and Belgium with the Liberty Ship James T. Fields."

Kluppelholz, Henry, S 1/ c, Armed Guard, New Haven.
" While serving with the armed guard on four merchant ships, I saw a lot of the Atlantic and the Pacific in 30 months of sea duty. I was in a number of air attacks in the European theater, but none in the Pacific. The happiest gang of guys I ever saw was a shipload of American soldiers we brought back from France last May. They were mighty glad to be on their way to the U. S. again."
Koblenz, Sherwood, AMMH 1/ c, Hq. Sq., Fleet Air Wing 9, Bridgeport.
" My outfit was on anti- submarine patrol in the Atlantic in ' 42 and ' 43 and I did a good bit of flying. While on patrol our squadron got a couple of probables. We gave air coverage to convoys and we also kept watch for lone wolf enemy subs and for sub packs. Later I spent consider­able
time on duty with a B- 24 training squadron at Crow's Landing, California."
Krysta, Edward, Jr., AMM 2/ c, Aviation Repair Unit 145, Bridgeport.
" I was in a land- based unit, servicing and repairing Navy planes of all kinds. Some of the planes that came into Manus, Cebu and Guam were pretty badly shot up, but we put most of them in shape to fly against the Japs again. When I left ARU- 145 I went into AROU- 4, which did complete overhauls as well as regular servicing and repair of planes."
Lambe, John J., MaM 1/ c, Fleet Post Offices, New Haven.
" I could write a traveler's guide to the islands of the Pacific. In 20 months with different post offices out there I was in the Solomons, the Admiralties, the New Heb­rides,
New Guinea, the Marshalls, the Philippines and on several of the islands of some groups. The Christmas rush of mail we had at Leyte in 1944 reminded me of the pre- war days when I worked in
the New Haven post office. There was a huge amount of mail for the boys."
Lennon, William J., PhM 3/ c, Saipan Naval Air Base, Manchester.
" After the Japs surrendered, I was assigned to an LSV that served as a hos­pital
and receiving ship at Japan. We took care of several thousand who had been prisoners of the Japs and we transported 1,000 of them back to Manila. Many of them had been transferred to Japan from prison camps in the Philippines when the Japs saw the handwriting on the wall. Some of them had taken part in the Death March. Statements were taken from the released men on the mistreatment which they had suffered and whenever possible the names of guards and officers who were responsible were taken. I imagine a lot of that dope will be used when Japs responsi­ble
for prison camp atrocities are brought to trial. Those prisoners had gone through hell, and I know they'll never forget it or never forgive the Japs."
Lindroth, John E., F 1/ c, Submarine Service, Newington.
" I helped to service and repair sub­marines
of all ages, sizes and kinds. First I was at New London, then I had 20 months overseas at the sub base at Pearl Harbor. It was a thrill to see those subs coming back in after long and successful missions out in the Japs' home waters. Our subs did a marvelous job out there and we were mighty proud of them. They thought nothing of going right up to the coast of Japan to look for Nip warships and cargo ships they could sink."
McLean, Harold N., MM 3/ c, De­stroyer
Samuel N. Moore, Glastonbury.
" The Moore saw a lot of action in the year I was with her, but being in the picket line off Okinawa gave me my big­gest
set of thrills. There was air action every day and up to the time I left in May
7
on a rotation transfer, we were credited with three Jap planes at Okinawa. After being in four campaigns in 12 months, I found duty in the States a big change."
McNamara, Bertram L., Jr., QM 1/ c, Submarine Caiman, Hartford.
" Our sub was based principally at Australia and at Subic Bay in the Philip­pines.
We didn't get as many chances as we wanted at Jap ships because we were given a lot of special missions. We landed coast watchers and brought them supplies and also did a lot of rescue work in picking up flyers who'd been forced down at sea. Before joining the Caiman, I'd spent three and a half years on the submarine R- 1, which operated out of New London to such places as Bermuda and Panama."
Mazur, Albert J., RdM 2/ c, De­stroyer
Escort Presley, Bridgeport.
" Our radar equipment enabled us to spot the approach of enemy planes when they were still many miles away so we were usually ready for them when they came in. We did patrol duty in the Atlantic, then were in the Leyte and Okinawa campaigns in the Pacific. The Presley is to be laid up soon on the Pacific Coast and then they're going to decommission her. She did a good job while she was in service."
Misiorek, Stanley P., S 1/ c, Battleship Alabama, Norwich.
" The Japs gave us some mighty heavy air attacks at Saipan and during one of them I was hit by some shrapnel. My back was badly injured and I was laid up for almost two months. I got a big kick out of it when we went into Jap­anese
home waters after they had sur­rendered.
It was swell to know that we'd pushed them back all the way across the Pacific until they'd had to give up the war. Our gang was plenty proud of the Alabama and we knew we had a great ship."
Mulville, Thomas F., S 1/ c, Carrier Lunga Point, Waterbury.
" I was working on a 40mm gun while we were off Iwo Jima when some Jap suicide planes came in. One of them got all the way in and crashed on our flight deck. I wasn't hurt but we had 12 casualties on the ship. I joined the Lunga Point when she was commissioned in 1943, having been on a tin can before that. Since our ship was named after one of the big sea battles at Guadalcanal, we got a bang out of sailing right into Tokyo Bay with the American flag flying."
Mullaly, Robert J., S 1/ c, Battleship Alabama, Hartford.
" During some of the battles and air attacks we had, it was hard to picture my­self
walking along the streets of Tokyo but that's just what I found myself doing after the Japs surrendered. It was quite an experience to see the damage that American bombs had caused. That trip to Tokyo was one liberty that I'll never forget. It made up for quite a bit of what we'd gone through."
Pacsay, Arthur J., Cox, Battleship Alabama, New Haven.
" After working in the North Atlantic, the Alabama went out to the Pacific in 1943. From the Gilberts on she was in everything out there except for two cam­paigns.
We worked with both the Third and Fifth Fleets, and rate 12 battle stars. In 30 months on the ' Bama I saw a whole lot of the war and it's a good feeling to know that my ship did a great deal to help."
Paull, Lou, MM 3/ c, Carrier Core, Torrington.
" During anti- submarine patrol in the Atlantic, our ship accounted for five German subs and I hear that we've got a citation coming to us. We went to the Pacific after the Nazis folded up but we
8
didn't see any combat out there. While we were looking for subs, there were also subs looking for us and we had some anxious moments sometimes."
Peszko, Edward W., MM 2/ c, Sub­marine
Tender Aegir, Meriden.
" We served as an advance base for our subs, being able to service them at sea and saving them long trips back to bases. A submarine squadron operated from our ship and we were equipped to repair and refit them at sea. I went aboard subs a number of times to work on repairs and new installations. Ships like ours made it possible for the subs to be in service a lot longer and helped account for a lot of the huge tonnage our subs got out there in the Pacific."
Pettiford, Ralph, St 3/ c, PT Boat Tender Cyrene, Hartford.
" As the mother ship for PT boats work­ing
through the Philippines, we were a prize target for Jap planes. Night after night they tried to get us but it was no go. One night they hit an ammo dump on the shore. It blazed all through the night, silhouetting us plainly against the sea and sky. I was plenty glad when that night was over. We spent a whole year operating off the island of Samar in the Philippines."
Schuck, Arthur J., BM 2/ c, LCC- 156 { Control Craft), Greenwich.
" The 156 directed assault waves as they went in to hit the beach, and at Southern France we took the boys right in there. At Salerno, we'd gone in after the early waves. I also had sea duty on the Attack Transport Lyons, which did considerable air and sea rescue work in the Atlantic."
Sirotnak, George F., QM 3/ c, Mine­sweeper
Pirate, Bridgeport.
" Our ship was officially credited with locating 191 Jap mines in the Inland Sea. Actually we got a few more, but even the official figure was plenty high in our kind
of work. After the mines were located and brought to the surface they were exploded by means of fire from rifles or machine guns, with a 20mm being used occasionally Of course it was a risky business some­times
but we came out of it all right. We knew that with every enemy mine we exploded there was that much less danger of one of our ships being damaged or sunk."
Sirrine, John E., S 1/ c, Liberty Ship Jeremiah O'Brien, Putnam.
" We brought troops, tanks and sup­plies
into Normandy for the invasion, but we found that was only one trip. Later we made 13 trips across the channel from Southampton to France, bringing in sup­plies
and equipment of all kinds. We were at it steadily from June until October and we had our share of air attacks. I was also on another cargo ship and a tanker in the Atlantic, and was on duty at San Diego when I came back East to get my dis­charge."
Tanzer, Joseph G., S 1/ c, LST- 306, Meriden.
" The 306 had made several trips into Normandy in the first days of the invasion and we were making another one when, Bang!, we hit a mine. It took just 20 minutes for the ship to sink. We lost three men and 20 were hurt, but it could have been a lot worse. We were picked up by sub- chasers and landing craft. After a year in the Atlantic, I also did a year in the Pacific. There I was on the Destroyer Escort Thornhill which did convoy and patrol duty. We got credit for shooting down three enemy planes and we also shot up three Jap mines."
Thiel, Edward G., F 1/ c, Carrier Ommaney Bay, Waterbury.
" My ship went down off the Philippines after being hit by a suicide plane. I had to jump off and was picked up by a de-
10
stroyer after spending 20 minutes in the water. All together I did duty on six ships, all the way from carriers to tugs, but that experience on the Ommaney Bay was the prize one of all. We'd given the Japs a lot of punishment at Palau and in the Philip­pines
before that Kamikaze managed to hit us. We'd knocked down other suicide planes but this one just managed to get in close enough to crash into the ship."
Torella, Harold E., SC 2/ c, 518th Seabees, New Haven.
" I know now how a woman feels standing over a hot stove all day long but it took a war to convince me. While the rest of the unit was out repairing trucks and sea craft, I stood over a hot stove at Guadalcanal cooking for 500 men and some Marines that occasionally infiltered our chow lines. They at least had the variety of working on a GMC one day and an International the next day but not me. With me it was always a little more salt or another pinch of pepper. I guess I shouldn't gripe though as some guys had it a lot tougher."
Turgeon, Ronald A., SF 2/ c, 136th Seabees, Grot on.
" I had real contrasts in weather while serving with the Seabees. I spent a year in Iceland with the 28th Battalion, help­ing
to build an air base while fighting the wind and cold. Then I went with the 136th to the almost ideal climate of Hawaii for five months, then to the heat of Guam for a year. At Guam we built a great big general hospital which the Army later took over. I'll be glad to settle for Con­necticut
weather from now on."
Vevarous, Joseph J., S 1/ c, Corpus Christi Naval Air Station, Stonington.
" We were so busy at Corpus Christi that work was often on a 24- hour a day schedule. That meant that the crew I was on worked from 6 o'clock at night
to 6 o'clock the next morning. I worked on plane engines of all kinds and managed to get in considerable flying. I made some flights over Mexico and saw a lot of the southwestern part of the United States."
Wallace, Wayne C, MoMM 2/ c, San Diego Repair Base, New London.
" I got that letter from Uncle Sam just this past summer and now I'm leaving after four and a half months. The story is that I had six years in the Navy before, ending in 1941. The day I finished training at Sampson after going in this time, I already had 36 points. They didn't have me doing much on this hitch, but when I was in the Navy before I spent a lot of time on submarines. The months since I went in last July have just flown by."

" 3. That until July 1, 1950, it shall also be the policy of the State that appointing officers of the State, as defined by Sec. 2049 of the General Statutes, shall, other conditions being equal, give preference to veterans of World War II in filling State positions from registers of eligible candidates furnished by the State Personnel Department."
Educational Aids — With satisfactory cre­dentials,

Aid for Needy Veterans — If you are being cared for under legal direction of the Veterans Home Commission, your children under 16, husband, wife or widowed mother can receive weekly finan­cial
assistance up to $ 10. for an adult and $ 6. for a child. Apply to the Commission, through the Veterans Home, Rocky Hill.
If you need temporary financial assistance because of a service disability, contact the Veterans Home Commission, Rocky Hill.
Soldiers, Sailors and Marines Fund — Many of the veterans' aid benefits set out above are pay­able
from the income produced by this fund which is to be augmented by a portion of the Connecticut tax on cigarettes until the principal of the fund reaches $ 15,000,000. Disbursements of these funds to carry out aid provisions to veterans, and certain relatives and next of kin of veterans pursuant to statute, are through the State Treasurer of the American Legion, State Office Building, Hartford.
