BOATSWAIN SHOLAR WRITES
PARENTS OF HIS FOUR
PACIFIC BATTLES.
Boatswain Marvin E. Sholar, of
the U. S. Navy, stationed some
where in the southwestern Pacific
area (probably Australia), has
written his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Sam Sholar, Cairo, revealing that
he has been in four of the Pacific
battles against the Japs thus far.
Early in the war he was in the
Battle of the Java Sea and was
cited and promoted for signalling
work under fire. The parts of the
letter that are publishable under
censorship regulations follow:
“How are all of you by now? Fine,
I hope. Patsy (his Australian wife)
and I are just as fine as can be. It
is the beginning of the fall of the
year here (Feb. 15th) and we are
having plenty of watermelons, can
taloupes and vegetables. Wish you
were here to help us eat some of
them.
“Soon I will have been In this
part of the world a year, Don’t
know how much longer I will be in
this locality. I have a good job here
and hope to remain here for the
duration of the war. I would like
to come home to see all of you but
if I did I might not get as good
duty afterward as I have here. Any
way, if I do leave this duty here I
will do my best to come home.
“February of last year was the i
worst month I have ever spent, I
was in
nese during that month, the last
which was the Battle of the
Sea, in which my ship was sunk.

One year ago today I was in a
tie at sea off Singapore, the day
Singapore fell. On the 4th of
ruary I was in the Battle of
sar Straits and on the 19th of
ruary last year I was in the

God bless each of you.
