[StartQuote] frank we had many night time air raids. on a couple of the islands.the skies were lit up with tracers and searchlights.on one base we were close to the airfield and the bombs came mighty close to us.the boats were always a prime target for the japanese pilots.when we heard the ocondition red sirenes we dove into the foxholes next to the tent.some it only lasted for a few minutes and many tiomes much longer.we wre very carefull using lanterns at night.we had red globes on some that made it harder to be seen in the dark and only gave a little light for the path.in the galley ,at night,i cooked also by a large lantern under the roof of the galley.had to shut iot down when the sirenes went off though.also had to shut down the stoves and restart thyem after the all clear. earl earl richmond[EndQuote]
