With other troops finishing their service in Europe, they arrived on February 1st or 2nd, 1946. This information I gathered from a NY Times Newspaper clipping, telegrams he sent to my mother, (his then fiancee) and entries in his diary. I am seeking ship logs or manifest to confirm, although the SS Rollins Victory soon changed names after being sold in July of 1946. The new name was Patagonia Victory in 1947, then to the Holland America line with it s name Arendsdijk.
