Default Re: HOLLANDIA (JAYAPURA) in 1944

Hey Jack!
Before you answer Skippers question I wanted to tell you that I had coffee with my 11th AB friend this morning. I asked him about rations, being discussed in another thread here, and he told me about fishing in the Phillipines. He said they would throw explosives in the water as you described earlier! We had a great conversation talking about the things you have shared here with us, and his personal stories as well!

So thanks again for sharing your stories!
