U.S. Naval Historical Center Photograph. USS Talbot (DD-114/APD-7) was a Wickes class destroyer that served briefly towards the end of the First World War, but that was much more active as a fast transport in the Pacific during the Second World War. The Talbot was named after Silas Talbot, an officer in the Continental Navy who was eventually captured while commanding a privateer, and later served in the new US Navy. The Talbot left New York on 31 July at the start of a round-trip to Britain and back, the first of four she carried out during and immediately after the First World War.

STATE OF DELA.."W".ARE EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT W".ALTER "'· BACON DOVER OOVER...�OR July 20, 1948 On March 14, 1944, I wrote to the Public Archives Commission expressing appreciation to them and to the volunteers who assisted them in the collection of data illustrative of Delaware's participation in World War II. At the same time I made the following request: "It occurs to me that your Commission could render further service to the State and its citizens by compiling information of all Delawareans who have, or may lose their lives while serving in the Armed Forces of the United States. It seems to me it would be appropriate to record the names of these honored dead in a memorial volume to be preserved in the State Archives as a heritage for future generations. If this suggested plan is acceptable to your Commission, I hope that this work may begin in the near future.n It is indeed gratifying to learn from a recent Report of the State Archivist that this work has progressed through the war years and is now nearing a completion. Efforts have not been spared to locate the next of kin of these deceased members of the Armed Forces from our State and to verify the facts contained in the biographical sketches on the following pages.

It argues that the forces that became the Division were sent to Fiji because of a perceived strategic threat, particularly from airpower, if the islands were seized by the Japanese. The Division was relieved in Fiji by the Americans but returned to the Pacific in 1943 because New Zealand wanted to earn a place at the peace table and the Americans lacked troops in the theatre. Whether the Division was primarily an offensive or garrison unit remained unclear throughout its existence and influenced its constitution. Major General Harold Barrowclough, its commander from 1942 to 1944, had somewhat different strengths from his fellow divisional commander Major General Bernard Freyberg, and operated in a very different environment, with amphibious operations at brigade level. Furthermore, his division operated in an area dominated by the United States Navy rather than the more familiar culture of the British Army.
