| Pop served in the U.S.
Navy 43rd Construction Battalion (Seabees) during World War II. He was first stationed in Kodiak, Alaska, and later on the islands of Oahu and Maui in the Hawaiian Islands. He was discharged in 1945, just before his battalion was scheduled to sail for Japan. While in Alaska, Pop bought a Photograph/Memory book (with a picture of a dogsled team "The Malamute Limited" painted on the front). In this book, I found a few pictures and several autographs of some of his shipmates. |
