305th Infantry Regimental HQ, hit in the kamikaze attack[edit]

A brief description of the kamikaze attack and its significance, from Second to None! The Story of the 305th Infantry in World War II, Washington: Infantry Journal Press (1949), p.159:

"On completion of the operations on Aka Shima, Zamami Shima, and Amuro Shima... the 305th Regimental Headquarters and attached units were loaded aboard the USS Henrico... We were placed in floating reserve status to wait...
On April 2 the Henrico, en troute to the night rendezvous area, was crash-bombed by one of the Kamikaze planes...important documents, records, and maps relative to future operations were destroyed... Colonel [Vincent J.] Tanzola, the C[ommanding] O[fficer], was killed, and many other headquarters personnel were killed or wounded.

Among the wounded: Maj. Winthrop Rockefeller.-- Deborahjay (talk) 02:21, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
