HAROLD MORRISON wrote on August 10, 2011 City and State: Unit: Service or Relationship: NAVY VETERAN Comments: Guess there are not many of us left who boarded the USNS A.W. BREWSTER in San Diego and crossed the dateline on 22 August 1952, on the way to Camp McGill, Japan. I remember we docked in Kobe and rode the train to Yokosuka. My fondest memory is when the train conductor came into our car and was saying something in Japanese. We did not understand Japanese, so we did not pay any attention to what he was saying. A few minutes later, the train entered a tunnel and smoke came pouring into the car. It was warm and all of the windows were open and at that time, the trains were all coal burning. Well, the next time that conductor came into our car and said something, we all rushed to the windows and closed them! It was back to Coronado in '53 and back to Camp McGill in '54.

DAVID BROWN wrote on December 26, 2010 City and State: DAYTON OH Unit: ACB 1 Service or Relationship: NAVY VETERAN Comments: Just found this site, looks like a lot of guys have been at it for a few years. Really interesting to read the postings.Personally I went in in July 1950 and left Great Lakes for Coronado in Oct. Up to Huneme for basic electric school after the first month or so then did the resupply to PT.Barrow Ak the following July. On to Japan and McGill, after a winter there got a second school at Hueneme and was on individual orders for the trip back, flew out of Tokyo to SanFran and advanced school. Back to Japan, McGill, and into Inchon early 1953. Goofiest thing I got involved in was helping deliver a couple of LCM's up on the Imjin river. They were needed for a ferry because their pontoon bridges were getting knocked out by mortor and artillery. We took 'em up right to the river beside Pork Chop hill. We hauled them up on empty tank retrevers, everyone had to get off the dirt roads when we went by. Freedom Village at Panmunjom was just being built to recieve the prisoner exchange so we looked it over when we passed through there as we returned to Inchon. All in all I really had four years of fond memories while in 'ol ACB one. By the way guys the unit was still known as the 104th construction battalion when I first got there, and within a couple of weeks it assumed the name of ACB 1. Great guys good officers. It has accumulated a lot of history since then, having been active in all of the battles around the world up to date. Keywords: Coronado,Camp McGill,Inchon

EUGENE WIKSTROM wrote on July 9, 2010 City and State: SEATTLE WA Unit: NBG-1 / ACB-1 Service or Relationship: NAVY VETERAN Comments: I arrived at Takeyama (Camp McGill) late in September, 1954. It was good duty, having liberty when not on duty. I helped close the USN part of the camp and was transferred to Naval Base, Yokosuka in January, 1958. What I remember most was the frequent earthquakes and the storms. Naval Beaching Group 1 was comprised of Amphibious Construction Battalion 1, Boat Unit 1, Beachmasters Unit 1, and an Underwater Demolition Unit. The UDT unit (I forget the number) was forever bringing us abalone to cook for them. They practiced off Nagai beach. I still have Commander Sibitsky's signature on my first DD214. He was said to be a "mustang officer." I'd do it all over again, if they'd let me. On Maplandia, I see the buildings are still there, although the powerhouse is gone. Keywords: Commander Sibitsky was our CO, WESTPACDET. Lt. Tagliani was our legal officer and help register me for my first presidential election.
