Oral History: Robert A. Bloomfield

[0:00] We went directly to the marshals.

[0:04] Uh our targets were the two islands of Roy and Neore. Uh they had a causeway between the two, but they were two major islands uh up at the north end of the Marshals.

[0:19] Uh and that's where that's where our our attacks had been in early December when we went up there with Essex.

[0:28] And I don't know how long we're there, probably short of a week.

[0:34] And those landings were secured.

[0:37] And uh then we got under the way. And we didn't know where we're going, but we knew we're heading west.
