USS LaVallette shipmate, Aragona, in "spud locker" enroute Aitape Invasion, April 19, 1944
In this April 19, 1944 drawing, George captured his shipmate Aragona, calmly peeling potatoes while the USS LaVallette was heading towards the Aitape Invasion along the coast of Papau New Guinea. Aitape was recaptured from the Japanese and under US control just days after this sketch was made.
