Description:In this memor, Harold J. Cook recalls his service as an officer on two ammunitions ships of the United States Navy in the Pacific during World War II. His eyewitness accounts of the attack on Pearl Harbor on April 6, 1945, and his photographs and records of his experiences on two US Navy ships throught the war show what it felt like to be part of such a monumental war in history. [from DePauw Magazine Spring 2010]. Cook writes: This book is a memoir of my service in the United States Navy during World War II. To refresh my memory, I had three sources of information. First of all, I secured a copy of the ship's log for each of the ships on which I served for the time I was aboard, the USS Pyro and the USS Las Vegas Victory. On my second ship the preparation of the ship's log was part of my duty as the Navigator. Secondly, Commander William F. Lally, the captain of my second ship, at the end of the war had submitted to the Department of the Navy a brief history of the ship. The Department of the Navy sent me a copy of this history. And lastly, I referred to the letters I had written home during the war. My mother had kept all of them intact. Due to censoring we were not allowed to write about where we were or what we were doing, but several of the narratives come from those letters. - Harold J.
