Scope & Content:

A 19-page excerpt from George Harvey Reis's autobiography as edited by Marilyn Carol Reis Leonard focusing on his experiences during World War II. The section appears to have only one possible mention of an LST, on page 9, though even this is unclear. Mr. Reis refers to a "landing ship" and then "landing craft" used to transport vehicles, equipment, and personnel of the 15th Base Post Office from Guadalcanal to Saipan. He mentions that he and a small group made the trip in about 10 hours via aircraft while the ship/craft took 2 weeks.
