| Notes |
- Harold retired from the US Navy in 1966 with 20 years service.
He very emphatically told me that his middle name is NOT Perkins, it has no S. I was doing some typing for him and put the S on his name because that's what everyone in East Texas called him. I felt dumb because I have always called him Uncle Perkin and Dad always called him Perkin.
In a letter from Perkin to Neeley with no date
From the USS Bataan to Mt. Enterprise
I went to Kyushu - boy was it hot! (as in enemy activity). Then went to Leyte in Philipines and got full of beer. Then went to Tokyo wasn't there long before they "released the atomic bomb and 'flash, flash' the war ended." HAPPY BIRTHDAY (her birthday is Aug 30). Tell June and kids hello.
In a letter from Perkin to Neeley dated 9/28/45
From the USS Bataan to Mt. Enterprise
They will be in NY on 10/16/45. They will be going through the Panama Canal on 10/8. They left Pearl Harbor on 9/25.
