My boat was based in Dutch Harbor and used by the Army as a personnel carrier. It carried the number Q47 and is named Mardo. According to the records I've found, it went to Dutch Harbor in September, 1941. I found a helmet liner on the boat with an almost legible name and number in it (Dennis M. E??????, 256837??6) I'd love to make contact with anyone who served on Army water craft operating out of Dutch Harbor.

7 John Jelacic United States jelacic_j@comcast.net 10:13:2006  12:57:56 My father, Emil Jelacic, served in the Alaskan campaign during WWII with the 201st battalion. He helped build the steel mesh landing strips used in the air campaign. He spent time on Kodiak, Adak & Amchitka. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone out there who served or who have relatives who served in those campaigns.

13 Brenda Honig United States bhonig@wcasd.net 2/28/2010  9:26:53 AM I came across this site after reading Karen Hesse's book Aleutian Sparrow which made me want to learn more about this place and at this time. I thank the soldiers who served our country there - read poetry at this site from a soldier and will share it with my sixth grade class. I care about the Aleuts who were interned and Etta Jones too - a lot
