Oral History: Robert A. Bloomfield
We went directly to the marshals.
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.
Uh and that's where that's where our our attacks had been in early December when we went up there with Essex.
And I don't know how long we're there, probably short of a week.
And those landings were secured.
And uh then we got under the way. And we didn't know where we're going, but we knew we're heading west.
