Back From the Wars
Anger at Seeing Pearl Horbor
In Ruins Told by Navy Aide
Destroyer's Crew
Sees Much Action
In South Pacific

1t was December 7, 1941 and the
destroyer was on its way to Pearl
Harbor.
Machinist's Mate FIRST class)
Bernard West. jr.. nephew Of Mrs.
E. Adamson, 6101 Fourth street NV,
was a member of that destroyer
crew to whom the ships radio an
nounced the japanese bombing of
the port toward which it was headed
that very moment.
1--WE didn't know what to think, I"
West said. 1--WE thought it might
even be joke, or a drill or maneu-
vers. 1t was dreary and rainy that
day, so we couldn't see anything"
But when the planes that were
sent out to investigate came back
and reported the truth, the men
were fighting mad Tenseness spread
through the atmosphere. 1t was war.
Everybody Too Tense to Sleep.
Everybody stayed up that night"
Mr.. West, a throttleman in the
engine room, recalled They were
waiting and wondering what would
happen when we reached Pearl
Harbor. 1t was our first experience
with war, and it was pretty exciting.
1--WE didn't think the Japanese
could have done much damage. We
figured the port was pretty well
fortified"
But when they arrived at Pearl
Harbor the next afternoon, they
thought they must have figured
wrong.
Nobody ate that night" he said,
after describing the scene. In the
harbor they could see the Arizona
burning. Smoke and the smell of
burning Oil filled the air. Delayed
action bombs left by the japanese
kept going off from time to time,
as parting blows from the enemy.
The wreckage of crashed planes
dotted the beach.
Screened Marine Landing.
The destroyer and its crew saw a
lot OF action in the Southwest Pacific,
during which it engaged in screening
lGuadalcanal in August, 1912, before
returning to Pearl Harbor for re-
pairs eight months later.
That visit found the port showing
few, if any, signs of what it had been
through. Everything was in repair
Food rationing was the chief re-
minder of war then.
West has been on sea duty since
shortly after he joined the Navy in
August, 1910. And % months of it
has been spent in expecting and ex-
periencing enemy action. He is now
visiting his uncle and aunt, with
whom he makes his home, on leave.
Japanese dive bombers scored two
near misses on the destroyer during
action near Munda, but that slight
damage was all that the vessel
received.

GUADALCANAL -tDelayeO. "A
case of more truth than poetry" is
the subject of a humorous sign over
one Of the numerous motor repair
outfits here, where the Marine Corps
leans heavily on mechanical equip
ment:
IF what you want is impossible
We will do it right away,
If miracles are wanted,
Please give us day."
To the Washington man who
heads the outfit goes credit for this
verse. Marine Gunner S. H. Vun-
cannon. of 1913 18th street Sc.
nailed it to a tree in the hope its
sarcasm would slightly lessen the
demands on his overworked crew.
1T turns out they believe my
sign," he means. $50 we have ia
live up to it. Well match the
amount of work we do, the speedy
way We do it. and its caliber against
any shop you name.
You know, we don't have many
spare parts here. If anything is
busted we must either stick back
together or make new one. 1t
takes a lot of ingenuity sometimes. !"
Out of the thick jungle Gunner
Vuncannon and his men have
carved space for their shop, which
still looks like hopeless tangle of
machinery and undergorwth. They
must also battle black mud. The
crew. however, seems as pleased as
if this were the fanciest Setup back
home.
Il just figured the other day" re-
called Gunner Vuncannon, who used
to own an automobile agency in
OXon Hill. Md, that in this one
shop We take care of more than l8C
pieces of equipment. That is, we
see that they stay in running con-
dition at all times. We service
everything from the heaviest bull
dozers to one-cylinder water pumps,
from jeeps to the three derricks we
made ourselves.
I'VE are prepared to do almost
anything with metal and motors

a thousand times to help the boys

is Is years old, dedicated five pages
OF his last letter to workers who boil
ster the morale of our boys by "ar-
ranging sightseeing tours-give
dances for the boys at their own
expense" and. devote themselves to
entertaining them.
A stocky, red-headed young man,
Sergt. Neal received his first Air
Medal for heroic action in the de-
fense OF his crippled Fortress. Tho
medal was awarded by Brig. Gen.
Fred L. Anderson, bomber wing
commander of the 9th Air Force,
for driving off attacking enemy
aircraft when his plane was DAM
aged on a raid over Kiel.
Helping to keep up the average Of
six enemy planes destroyed for every
Fortress lost, the sergeant shot down
a Messerschmitt 109 and a Folke-
Wulf in the raid on the German

ture OF thief here. He chased a
man who had stolen some jewelry
and, catching him, tore off a por-
tion of his shirt-but only after the
thief had cut his face with a knife.
The police later were able to trace
the man by means of the torn shirt.

fighter defenses the enemy could
put up in the Mediterranean thea

He encountered the fiercest fighter
attack on the May % mission over
vital airdrome in Sicily, where his
formation was persistently attacked
by more than 40 enemy fighters just
before and after their bomb run.
The target, however, was effectively
hit. He saw the heaviest fax on

Germans had concentrated prac-
tically all of their antiaircraft de-
fenses in Sicily.

vidual gun emplacements were
knocked out; the September 2
bombing of vital marshaling yards
In Central Italy especially praised
by Gen. Doolittle, and the Septem-
Der "a raid on bridge in Central
Italy.
The skill required to hit the bridge
may be illustrated by the fact that
several other attempts had been
made to smash the bridge, none of
which were successful.
He has bombed targets in Tunisia,
Sicily, Pantelleria, Sardinia, Italy,
Greece and Corsica. He has flown
over such historic places as the re-
