Beyond Pongani Mission

Book Description
A collection of factual stories that stem from my term serving as a team member of the 32nd Division - Headquarters Message Center forward echelon, while we were engaged in the Battle of Buna, New Guinea 1942-43. This true story is one of a disastrous fiasco that enveloped American GI's in the early stages of the offensive against the Japanese forces in New Guinea. Contains many original photographs and maps.

About the Author
I was born on June 19, 1919, and grew up in a small semi-rural village in the south central part of Michigan. I discovered who I was while exploring the fields and forests that surrounded our village. As a young man, I spent a great deal of time in the Ontario wilderness where I learned many of the secrets of living off the land -- skills I would need in the remote regions of New Guinea.
