Sanders Get Letter From Japan Sasebo, Japan, Sept. 25, 1945. Di ar Mom and All: Will write ai little now as 1 have some time, but don’t sup pose this will get off for a couple of weeks or so, as yet there ain’t no postoffice here. We landed, the Fifth Division Marines, here on the 22nd, that’s of this month. Were the first bunch to land right in here and the Westmoreland w.s the second ship oitt of the convoy to tie up to ihe docks here. There was something close to sixty ships in the convoy. This is the Island called Ky oshue and the closest town is Sasebo’ but there is not much left of it as our planes dropped fire bombs and I suppose other bombs on it and it is all burned and blown to pieces. As quick as our men and the Marines hit the beach most of the Japs went for the hills. We don’t see hardly any around now. Most of them me in army uni form yet. When they meet us guys they bow way down and give up a snappy salute, just lik< we are officers. I haven’s seen a Jap woman or girl yet. We can’t take any souvenir’s as we might set off some boobie trap or something. There is nothing but hills and mountains here, hardly any flat or low land at all. The Japs have little patches leveled off all around the sides and tops of the they raise their rice, mountains. Guess that is where they raise their rice. This place smells plenty Japie too, and that sure ain’t no lie. The weather her is about like | that you have back there. It’s a 1 lot cooler here than it was in Saipan. All we haul is troops and cargo. When we were ut Maway we were on maneuvers for better than two weeks that got tiresome. I haven't got any mail for so long I won’t know how to read when we do get it. Can’t hardly write now as I haven't written for so long, guess I’m getting out of practice. Well, its about time for the movie to start so will close, hop ing everyone is O. K. Write real soon. With lots of love, Wollis. Discharge forlCpl. Winkler Kelly Field, Texas: — After three years wnd nine months of service in the Army Air Forces as mechanic, Cpl. Leonard J.
