That is the opinion of Louis A. Daniel, S2c, of 306 N. Illinois St., Anaheim, Calif., and other Coast Guardsmen aboard this LST. Daniel and his mates were referring to the attack on Tinian Island by sea, air and land shortly after this battle-tested assault vessel disgorged her troop-filled amphibious tractors in the face of light enemy resistance. "The teamwork was perfect. We rocked 'em back on their beels with a good assortment of broadsides from our battlewagons and cruisers. While they were trying to shake those off, the bombers began their shuttle trips to wallop the daylights out of them. "By the time we opened the bow doors and turned the amphibious tractors loose," Daniel and his mates went on, "the only resistance they had left on the beach was light machine gun and scattered rifle fire." Any punishment dealt out Japanese forces is greeted with unconcealed approval by members of the ship's company who saw their share of action at Saipan during that three and one-half week operation. The majority of them underwent five air raids on Christmas day in the Gilbert Islands and faced enemy fire at Tarawa and Makin. Some endured the fury of Aleutin storms in bringing the first LST into Kiska harbor. PVT. ALLEC IS SOMEWHERE IN IRELAND Pvt.
