Description

Curtis Bertrand was just a country boy in the U.S. Army in World War II. While in the South Pacific Theater he took 600 pictures to allow his folks back home on the farm to be eyewitnesses of what he was experiencing. He had no intention of being a photojournalist, but this pictorial provides a unique view of life and death during WWII. He never dreamed his private stash of pictures would be viewed over 70 years later. The author traces his father's steps from home to war and back using the war photos and official battalion diary which reveal some heartbreaking accounts and fearful experiences.INSIDE THIS BOOK YOU WILL WITNESS: New Guinea Battle Campaigns: From Australia to Dobodura and Saidor;The Battle for Biak Island and Capture of Mokmer Airdrome;The Philippine Islands: the Battle of Manila and its Reconstruction;World War II Airplanes with Erotic Nose Art;New Guinea Natives in Daily LifePRAISE FOR "DAD'S WAR PHOTOS"This book will bring back many memories for those veterans who are still with us, but perhaps more importantly it will allow the younger generations, especially those whose forefathers served in the Pacific, to see and understand more about the war that encompassed the world.Ray BowdenDorset, England I've never seen a book that covers so much of the war in a pictorial form. It presents a month-by-month account of what it was like to serve in an engineering battalion in support of the fighting troops in the South Pacific.Hughes GlantzbergI thoroughly enjoyed this book! Neal has done a great job of organizing the book so any reader can get a real taste of where his dad went and what he saw. I especially enjoyed the World War II nose art photos.Sheila FredricksonThis is a fascinating first person view of an enlisted man's perspective. You witness his part of the war through his eyes and camera lens. This is a part of the war few have documented so thoroughly from such a unique perspective. Fred Leger
