Re: SS San Bruno, 18 June 1945, Okinawa Gunto.
Thank you for reply, Ron, have been following up links. Confirm my brother was on SS San Bruno, 1 Jan. 1945, at San Francisco; port of departure, Guadalcanal. He was on many ships throughout the war, beginning with SS Port Saint John, voyaging from Dunedin to NY, and somewhere near Hawaii in Dec. 1941, and later the Korean War. It is very difficult getting any but the barest details of what went on. I remember in a letter he had said he was at Yokohama sometime around the surrender, so may have then been on a different ship - no record of San Bruno among the official list of ships present. It is a significant anniversary date approaching for you all, 27 August. Regards to you and your website comrades-at-arms. Edgar Kidman
