Aitape and Luzon Operations Journals

I recently acquired digital copies of the Operations Journals of the 152nd Field Artillery battalion from the Aitape and Luzon operations and made them available for download on our website. These journals were copied from the originals in the National Archives by the son of the man who commanded the battalion during these operations, LTC Wilber Bradt.

Also available for download there is the official Historical Report, Luzon Campaign, 43rd Infantry Division, with annotations by LTC Bradt.

The 152nd was part of the 103rd RCT, 43rd Infantry Division.

Actually, I did not know...and I'd bought a paperback version of it a year ago. Oh well, it's nice to have a hard copy too I guess...

 

Thanks for the posts!

 

This may be interesting to me, my great grandpa build the recaptured airstrip at aitape.
