Wednesday December 8, , After 32 months in Alaska and the Aleutians,' Capt. Jean A. Berg Is well acquainted with the Jap enemy. He went over the battleground at Attu and saw there the grim evidences of the bitter struggle waged between our men and the Japanese. Capt. Berg came here in October, is now chief of branch I supply division. Having gone to Alaska in February, 1941, he was in that area when the Japs came and was there when they left after hastily reconsidering their position. At Anchorage, where he was stationed the first 18 months, he was an air corps supply officer at a service center. A service center is comparable to an ASC except that it is entirely staffed with military personnel. Most of the time he was in the vicinity of Dutch Harbor. In July of 1942 he was sent to the Aleutian group, 'spending two months of the time there at Attu, westernmost island in the group, retaken by American troops in May of 1942. He said that very few prisoners were taken. Those he saw were rather poor specimens. He made several flying trips from Attu to a rest camp at the foot of Mt. McKinley, tallest peak in North America, taking Ameri can soldiers on what is called "7- day Alaskan leave" not the sams as French leave. the trip Involved some 2000 miles. He said the worst thing about Attu was the weather. Tempera- - : y who is extremely disgusted I .:ir, h ' be- cause his sister is on her way to being in the army before he is He wants to fly, too.
