Show At Okinawa Bart A. Griffiths, seaman first class, son of Arrel Griffiths, and R. C. Bingham, son of Ray St Bingham, Route 1, both of Smith-field, Smith-field, are fighting aboard a veteran vet-eran battleship which poured 1,500-pound shells onto Okinawa for six days to clear the way for troops taking part in the greatest amphibious landing of the Pacific war. His ship, which saw service in World War I and has blasted the Japs through five previous campaigns of this war, underwent numerous air attacks during the last few days before the landings. Two tropedoes launched against her never reached their mark. |
