USS BUSH Ensign Sam Matich leans against a tree outside the Officer's Club
on Kornuiat Island, in the Admiralty Group. This photo was likely taken in
August or September of 1944, about 6 months after the BUSH participated in the
initial assault to take the Japanese airstrip on Los Negros Island, also in the Admiralty
Group.
Below, a photocopy of then Ensign Dan Tontz' Club Card, also of the USS BUSH. |
