“Herb and I were on the U.S.S. Howze and stopped on 4 September 1944 at Giligili in Milne Bay to let off a ‘hospital unit’ and cruised another 450 miles on an island tour 12 miles out from Lae [New Guinea]. Then we went on a short barge ride to land. We then slithered inland in the rain with 180 other soldiers in a parade of Navy ‘ducks’, for a 30 mile ride up into Markham Valley, and arrived at our camp site at 2000 hours. [Follow along] and track our movements through New Guinea, Biak, Leyte and Luzon [Philippines], Okinawa, and up to Irumagawa [later known as Johnson Air Base], Japan.” -- Frank Koopman Frank Koopman, Walter Smittle & Bob Wampler.
