Always knew my Grandpa was a badass US Army WW2 Sergeant but only recently found out he was 41st Division. The Bloody Buchers, first to cross the Pacific to fight the Japanese. @BarnBuster maybe you could post a link, I cannot.

I had a good buddy on board Storis during this evolution.
Very lucky no one was lost!

Glad to. This is probably the best reference to the 41st in the Pacific. You may have to register and establish an account but it's free. BTW, the phrase "Bloody Butcher" was given to them by Tokyo Rose.
