Re: marine falcon--liberty ship
I have a copy of the Marine Falcon's final troop newsletter -The Falcon Cauldron- dated Oct 10 1945. The first page has a drawing of the trip from Nagoya Japan to Seattle. However the sailing dates are October 29, - November 11. Anyway this news letter has the ship logs for that date articles on the captain (Oscar L. Thompsen), Col. Heinlein, and Lt. Hayes Transport service. But the highlight of the letter is the article to the returning troops suggesting proper behavior amongst "the strange inhabitants the States." The article is hilarious. Anyone interested in a copy?
