“I was inducted into he
army at Fort McPherson,
Atlanta, in March 1945.
With little delay we were
dressed out in all wool
clothing and shipped out to
Camp Blanding, Fla.
Camp Blanding had over
20,000 soldiers in training
when my outfit arrived.
After six weeks training
and two weeks in the hospi
tal forv fractured feet, I was
sent home for two weeks
R&R, with orders to report
in at Fort Ord, California by
the end of the third week.
The train ride to California
was a nightmare.
“Along he way we picked
up passengers that had
to stand up. When we left
Atlanta, every seat was
filled with Gl’s and duffle
bags. You could not go any
where on the train without
walking on duffle bags and
stepping over sleeping Gl’s.
“We arrived at Fort Order
after being delayed one day
in Arizona while a collapsed
bridge was being repaired.
A total of five days on the
rails!
“One piece of good news:
on the way out the a-bomb
had been delivered. By the
time we were ready to board
ship the second bomb had
been delivered. This caused
a two-week delay for the

Bermuda, Newfoundland, Canada, the Azores, Puerto

McArthur had requested

Army had told them that
we would kill them. After a
