"Also, got my colored pictures back. Boy are they ever good. I’ll have a lot of them [slides] to show on a screen when I get home. There is a real good one of some Aussie soldiers that one of my buddies give me. Also, there is another of me holding a big snake in Australia."

“On the way to Australia, we cross the Equator and boy, all the Shellbacks are going to give all us pollywogs a hard time.
When we get to Brisbane, Australia, we will be the first fighting ships to stop there since World War II eleven years ago.”
