Were any of your friends killed or wounded either during the landing or
during the day? one of our stokers was wounded + a number of soldiers

Do you remember any conversations you had with them before they became
casualties? No
Were you wounded? No
How were you wounded?
Do you remember what it was like — that is, do you remember whether you
felt any pain or were you so surprised that you felt nothing?
Do you remember seeing or hearing anything that seems funny now, even though
it may not have seemed amusing at the time? Or anything unexpected or out- of-place?
There was one thing that sticks out in my mind when ---L.C.T. got a direct hit in the engine room the shell past into the bridges + sent a fountain of oil into the hole in the deck head all over our skippers on the bridges he looked just like a nigger boy

Do you recall any incident sad or heroic, or simply memorable that struck you more than anything else?
There was one quite brave deed at best I think or was when our leading stoker put a sack over load of cannon shells when the base was on five + put the flames out + there are a number of other things but but --no room for them all here
