Commanding Officer — ^^HE name of our good ship, Maui, was, perhaps, -' -^ ' to most of us the most strange and meaningless of any of the ships in this fleet, and upon first seeing it in print no doubt it seemed unpro- nounceable. Yet the name has a romance about it that one associates with the sea, for the ship was named after the beautiful Island of Maui, the second largest of the Hawaiian group. The purpose of our book is to tell in a simple and short manner, and so that we may keep it fresh in our memories in the years to come, the tale of the part played in the great war by the good ship Maui and the men who manned her.

Moreover, indexes to each volume were kept by handwritten notation, in both pencil and ink, seldom in alphabetical order, and with numerous addenda and instances of inserted or corrected text. Researchers should exercise special and unusual latitude in an attempt to gather all the citations for a specific name. There are a number of variant patterns, but the most consistent apply to abbreviated versions of the name of the same person. "Cunningham, ~riggs"may be the same as "Cunningham, B." I,Dann, H. E ." may be the same as "Dann, H. H." (due to blurred or illegible handwriting). "Campbell, E. P." may be the same as "Campbell, President" (or Senator, Governor, Secretary, etc.). In many cases the index has knowingly been recreated literally from the original volume indexes with the mistakes intact to avoid an even more confusing, erroneous and unconfirmable interpretation.

  • IX Overseas and France
    IX. OVERSEAS AND FRANCE By the time we finally went overseas, to southern France, in October 1944, we were a mixture of personnel. Our hard core was most of the original cadre, almost all of whom were non–commissioned officers. Mature men, some of them regular Army, superbly trained and experienced themselves, they proved of literally inestimable value when the going got rough. Most of the rest of us, young, callow, inexperienced, and certainly far from professional, had going for us four or five months of rigorous and thorough training directed by this same cadre. Although this had been often unpleasant and usually arduous, we had good reason to be profoundly grateful for it before we were through. Bud continued: FORT BRAGG TO FRANCE “September 25, 1944 postmarks on my August 31 change of address cards gave my correspondents an APO 447 number c/o Postmaster, New York, NY. The Story of the Century divisional history book says the movement to the New York Port of Embarkation began Sept. 24 as long lines of waiting Pullmans with prearranged seats were filled as the 100th Division band played martial strains and that the entire division arrived at Camp Kilmer, New Jersey on Sept. 30. I remember it being a warm day and Pvt. Mike Sirokoman’s success in opening the Pullman car window at our lower berth. Then he left for an all night card or craps game and I had all of a soot covered bed when we arrived at Camp Kilmer.” Sept. 29, 1944, from Somewhere on East Coast.

TOPIC 4.1 What resources led to the creation of your town and other towns in your region? What problems are associated with one-industry towns? Introduction European settlement in Newfoundland and Labrador you will recall from your study of chapter three, to was originally driven by demand for saltfish that was compensate for declining harvests per person, fishers exported to southern Europe and the British West sought new fishing grounds, such as those in Labrador, Indies. By the mid-1800s, however, several problems and took advantage of new technologies, such as cod arose that limited the ability of the fishery to remain traps, which increased their ability to catch more fish the primary economic activity. Recognizing this, the in less time. Newfoundland government began to look for ways to diversify the economy. The second problem was the decrease in the cod biomass off Newfoundland and Labrador. One factor which contributed to this was a period of lower ocean Changes in the Fishery productivity – this means the rate of cod reproduction thus, many people lost an additional source of income. During the nineteenth century, the resident population was lower than in previous centuries.
