Lefty,

I was a Corporal when we first landed in Australia in '41 with the 147th, I do know the Name Dutch, my nick name was Irish before they called me Sir. I can't remember the Company I was with in the 186th maybe either Dog or Fox, long time ago now. I was with the 1st Cav, 32nd, 41st, 147th. Let me get some sleep on this, and I'll put my thinking cap on in the morning,Very interesting indeed.

Did your dad ever mention Toem, or Wakde Island
