21k | Borneo: Brunei Bay Area, Labuan ,-10 June 1945 - General Douglas MacArthur, Supreme Commander, Allied Land Forces, South West Pacific Area
and Lieutenant General Sir Leslie J. Morshead, General Officer Commanding I Corps arriving on Labuan Island, soon after the Australian Landing in the area during the OBOE 6 operation. The landing party is disembarking from USS LST-941 LCVP #2. In the background is USS LSM-52 Gary Crouse wrote "Before his death, Andrew Lee 'Andy', who served [in] LSM-52 as the Electrician’s Mate, and a close friend of my father’s, told me about the day the crew saw General MacArthur land at Borneo. I remembered my Dad talking about this while he was still alive as well. Andy did not have a picture of this event, but related how the crew lined the deck and got to see this event. He also included a little “footnote” to the event; MacArthur actually had to get back on the LST two, or three times until the photographers were satisfied they had enough pictures. (I can only imagine some of the comments being made by the crew of the LSM 52!). Photo Source - From the Australian War Memorial Collection (copyright expired) |
