the planes opened fire upon the site once, then turned around and did again before they flew off into the night. few people were killed but mostly everyone was injured. He though, suffered a broken leg with a wound that got infected the next day. It had to get amputated but he always said it was from a working accident when i was a kid. The medic said he would never move the same again. He was dispatched and sent home. Days later he walked to the beach (he used to live in california). He realized that everything he loved and cared about was dead (besides his family which i mentioned to him) so he tried to take his life by drowning himself (why he choose to commit suicide by drowning himself, i do not know) he was taken out by the tide and started sinking, but he realized that everything must happen for a purpose and changed his mind. He swam and swam un til finally reaching the beach, a lifeguard came rushing over to help him. |

two years ago i was looking up my familys history with friends (we were trying to see whos past was funniest) and i saw me grandfather was in WWII. i contacted him imediantly and asked him. he was senial so he said he couldn't clearly remember...
I let him sleep on it and the next morning he stopped by my house. He remembered the major parts and told them to me...
he was drafted when he was 19. he left a wife that he loved but no children. months after he was drafted word got sent to him that his wife had a baby, but both died in birth... he was let off duties that day and he cried and cried...
He mananaged to drag himself up and continue the next day. later on (he didnt remember exactly when) he was sent to another army site. that night he was sleeping in his bunk when he heard perpellers, he ran outside to see just in time 2 planes coming straight for the site. he ran and screamed to the others but most couldnt hear him over the perpellers. |

My dad, Cpl Robert W. Brigham, was injured in an explosion at Dodewaard, Holland, Oct.22, 1944 and died the following day. Iam trying to locate my father's close friend from WWII, Ed Manley. They served together in the 101st Airborne, 502 PIR/Hq Reg/Demolitions. I understand he has some
really great stories to tell of he and my dad's
time together. I know they played music in a combo because I have a picture of them with my dad's inscription on the back of who was playing which instrument. If anyone knows Ed I would appreciate him contacting me. |

I am doing research for a book about my father and would greatly appreciate any information about his death. My father was Byron ("Barney") Darnton, a war correspondent for The New York Times killed on Oct 18, 1942, on board a troop ship, the King John, off the coast of Pongani, New Guinea. The ship, part of the "small ships" fleetwas anchored with a sister ship, also a fishing trawler, called the Timoshenko. The ships were bombed by an unidentified plane and not directly hit, but shrapnel killed my father and Bruce Fahnestock. Many among the 90 U.S soldiers on board the two ships were wounded; one later died. Moments before, my father wrote in his notebook: "plane overhead. Jap or ours?" The words were prophetic, as it turned out that the plane was an American B-25, flying out of Port MOresby. I am casting about to see if there might be any veterans out there who have any knowledge of this friendly fire incident or in general of my father.
If so, please do contact me.

For some good army stories from the European front, visit my website of letters my father wrote home in 1944-45. It can be viewed at
