Battle of the Java Sea 1942 ..shells

2021 💔😔

Sgt. Roos, John T. (Ret.) In the very early days of WW2, it must have almost suicidal in the Java Sea... To you, who served in the early days of the Pacific, you will always have my eternal gratitude! Semper Fidelis

John M. Selby, my dad in blue jacket talking about the torpedoes toward the end of video loved the ship these men and others aboard the Saufley. There was a big print of a sailing ship on the wall in the living room and he would put pictures of his grandchildren along the bottom edge of the frame and he had 2 pictures of red haired little girls that he lovingly referred to as his 2 little adopted Irish granddaughters. If I recall correctly they were Henry Fox’s granddaughters. I am glad this video is on u-tube as it is really good to be able to hear his voice and watch him speak!

Too bad the full documentary isn't uploaded nor is it in Amazon anymore. I still appreciate that you are uploading these clips, this is one of the most unique WW2 documentaries in terms of the battle it covers.
