| Green | Sherman | C | OK | 10th ERBS, P-512, USAAF | 1 | 5 | 1944 | Y | 1 | 1 | 1946 | Y | SELF | SELF | SELF | mailto:SseaGreen@aol.com | P-512 was one of five 85-footers stationed at Casco Cove, Alexai Point, or Chichagof Harbor. AAF offshore rescue boats were stationed from Annette Is. in SE Alaska to Attu. I served on boats at Adak, Amchitka, and Attu. We sailed the 104' and 85' boats from Seattle and Los Angeles. The 10th Emerg. Rescue Boat Sqdn. (originally 924th QM Co. Boat (avn), served from Spring, 1942, to Jan. or Feb. 1946, from Annette Is. near Ketchikan to Attu in the Aleutians. Boats were stationed at Homer, Kodiak, Dutch Harbor, Chernofski, Adak, Amchitka, (rotating to Kiska), and Attu. (I may have missed a couple.) Thirty boats or so, from 158-ft to 104's, 85's, and 42-footers with several smaller ones back on the AK mainland. Outfit had about 500 men; many were recruited from AK. Crews lived on their boats -- those 42' and larger, and brought the larger ones from Stateside on their own bottoms. We never lost a man nor a boat at sea, despite facing some of the world's worst weather. Saved a number of airmen, brought ill and injured men from outposts for treatment, and ferried outpost crews to and from their duties. It was good duty, but I'm glad I don't have to do it again!

| Arndt | Woodrow | Woody | OK | 7th Inf. Div., 17th Inf. Reg., CO "H" | 11 | 5 | 1943 | Y | 15 | 8 | 1943 | Y | Krimm | Lee | FRIEND | mailto:lkrimm@earthlink.net | Woody's ship was the USS Zzelain. The spelling of the ship's name is in doubt, but Woody remembers that the spelling had two "z's." Woody is still active and spends some of his spare time cutting hair in a barber shop. I became aware of Woody's service on Attu because while he was cutting my hair, I mentioned to him that I had lived on Attu from January 1947 to October 1947 as an "Army Brat." | 7/7/2001 1:16:09 AM | 6 | |
