Brt in particular, to the men of World War II who today rest under the shadow of small white crosses, and stars of Bethlehem, on home soil, in the isles of the Pacific, acros; thf Atlantic and in those unmarked places within the seas. On Memorial Day, May 30, the first after the war, we all will have the opportunity to revere the memory of those who became the -sacrificed, that the cause of democracy might prevail. Under God, the cause of these nations was saved, but at great cost, the live; of young men, who like ourselves willed to live. '(hat price demands greater and better living of all who today share the life the HONORED DEAD would have desired to continue with us. Let us, therefore, on that day, reverently bow our heads in thanksgiving to Al­ mighty God, and in reverence to the memory of all those who died for the cause of the world's freedom today. A. A.

In this 1920 oil painting “A Fast Convoy” by Burnell Poole, the destroyer USS Allen (DD-66) is shown escorting USS Leviathan (SP-1326). Throughout the course of the war, Leviathan transported more than 98,000 troops. Naval History and Heritage Command 1 United States Navy and World War I: 1914–1922 Frank A. Blazich Jr., PhD Naval History and Heritage Command Introduction This document is intended to provide readers with a chronological progression of the activities of the United States Navy and its involvement with World War I as an outside observer, active participant, and victor engaged in the war’s lingering effects in the postwar period. The document is not a comprehensive timeline of every action, policy decision, or ship movement. What is provided is a glimpse into how the 20th century’s first global conflict influenced the Navy and its evolution throughout the conflict and the immediate aftermath. The source base is predominately composed of the published records of the Navy and the primary materials gathered under the supervision of Captain Dudley Knox in the Historical Section in the Office of Naval Records and Library. A thorough chronology remains to be written on the Navy’s actions in regard to World War I. The nationality of all vessels, unless otherwise listed, is the United States.

    Ensign Worth Bagley BY DAVID WALBERT Ensign Worth Bagley, a native of Raleigh, was the only U.S. Navy officer killed in action during the Spanish-American War. Born in Raleigh in 1874, Bagley graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1895. After serving for two years on the USS Montgomery, Texas, and Maine, he was promoted to ensign on July 1, 1897. In November 1897 he was appointed inspector of the new torpedo boat Winslow. A month later he became the Winslow’s executive officer, or second in command, under Lieutenant J. B. Bernadou. In April 1898, the Winslow was mobilized with the rest of the Atlantic fleet for operations in Cuban waters. On the morning of May 11, the ship went with the Hudson and the Wilmington to force the entrance to the harbor of Cárdenas. She was fired upon by one of several Spanish gunboats, and a battle followed. The Winslow was soon disabled but was Figure 1. Worth Bagley in 1894. hauled out of range of the Spanish guns. Just as the battle ended, Ensign Bagley and four sailors were killed by a shell. Worth Bagley’s brother, David W. Bagley, served in World War I and World War II, retiring in 1947 as an Admiral.

  • Wreck Trips to Bikini Atoll
    Wreck Trips to Bikini Atoll Photo by Jesper Kjøller About Operation Crossroads The Critical Experiment After WWI ended in the early 1900s, and following a mandate from the League of Nation, the Japanese took over the administration of the Marshall Islands. This then resulted in an intensifying of the military presence in the islands, in anticipation of WWII. Bikini, Truk Lagoon, and other low-lying, peaceful coral atolls became strategic points of interest. Life for the Bikini Islanders wasn’t peaceful anymore as the Japanese began building watchtowers to keep an eye out for an American invasion. Bikini Atoll became a key outpost for the Japanese headquarters in the Marshalls. In February 1944, American forces took Kawajalein and the Marshall Islands by force. The Japanese control over the Marshalls was lost. There were five Japanese soldiers left on Bikini. Instead of allowing themselves to be captured, they blew themselves up with a grenade while hiding out in a foxhole. Post WWII, in December 1945, then US President Harry Truman, informed the US Army and Navy that the testing of nuclear weapons would be undertaken “to determine the effect of atomic bombs on American warships.” Unluckily for Bikini, its location and isolation from sea and air routes meant it was chosen as a nuclear testing point, these tests came to be named Operation Crossroads. Commodore Wyatt, then military governor of the Marshall Islands, went to Bikini in February 1946. After church on a Sunday, he gathered the native Bikini Islanders and asked them to leave their home so the US could begin testing bombs.

Everything has a beginning and it is an old custom to have an introduction: While to those familiar with the war work of the First Presby- terian Church this book needs no introduction, there are others to whom its title will have little or no meaning, so for their benefit a brief explanation is in order. There were a number of friends who beguiled me in to writing this story. Their arguments were that while I was con- stantly on the scene of action I could give them an eye witness account of the work done by the First Presbyterian Church for Service men in those epochal years 19^1-19^5° For the past year as I have worked long but pleasant hours on this Manuscript I have forgiven them, but I have also realiz- ed that writing is a profession and it is not mine, however in- stead of attempting to acquire a literary style I have tried to tell in an informal way of our efforts for the Service men.
