Unsourced first-person account

[edit]

So that the information isn't lost I'm copying the unsourced first-person account that had been added to the beginning of the article to here: The LST 1067 loaded invasion forces at Leyte and was steaming toward Japan when the a-bomb was dropped, when Japan surrendered and then our orders were changed to proceed as an occupying force. I was aboard as navigator (Ens. Abraham P. Goldblum); Lt. Murtha was the Exec., Lt. White was the commander. We landed 2 docks, which had been fastened to our sides, at Mitsugahama, proceeded to Kure (?) naval base (and some of us toured Hiroshima) and we then steamed back to either Pearl Harbor or the Marianas. (I was transferred from the ship at Pearl Harbor, the ship continued to San Francisco and I was transferred to A.T.A. 182 in the Phllippenes). Pennsy22 (talk) 06:18, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
