COMBAT STORIES FROM World War II

David Phillips | Multiple Ships and Units - Navy

5:16   |   David Phillips wanted to go fight the Japanese but he was too young. He went to work for a shipbuilder but left when it made him sick. He enlisted at last and was made a leader at boot camp because he knew close order drill so well. Graduated from torpedo school, he shipped out on a slow LST for North Africa.
