Description

World War II is an accounting of what John E. O'Hara went through during the war years. He joined the Civilian Conservation Corp in 1939. Then on December 7, 1941 the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. Early one morning in the spring of 1942 he boarded a bus. His destination was the Navy induction center in Providence, Rhode Island. After boot camp he was assigned to the attack transport USS William P. Biddle. In the mean time he attended Gray Marine Diesel School and became an Amphibian Engineer. Later John would be transferred to the USS Hugh L. Scott. Unfortunately it was struck by a torpedo on November 12, 1942 and sank. John was the last survivor to leave the vessel. After a sea battle, to get out from under the tremendous pressure of battle, some guys would sleep, some would play cards, and some would exercise. John found that writing poetry about what had just happened helped him a lot. This book contains his writings of the battles he was in from 1941 to 1945, exactly as they happened. He maintained a notebook expressing his thoughts and continued rewriting them through 1947. The author has also sprinkled in forty-six images to enhance John's story. Raymond A. Wolf has lived in the small Village of Hope, in the Town of Scituate, Rhode Island all his life. He belongs to six historical societies. It was a Pawtuxet Valley Preservation and Historical Society that he met the guest speaker one night. John was giving a power point presentation on World War II. Wolf felt strongly that John's story should be recorded in a softcover book and be available for anyone to read. Hence, Grandpa John Remembers: World War II.
