My father, Dr. John Millard Robertson, dentist and oral surgeon, was a member of the 21 Evac Hospital. I was pleased to provide photographs to Judy Kelley of the OU Health Science Center “OU Medicine” for her article on the Fighting 21st.

My father fought on Bougainville, Charles Golightly,he was only 19 when the invasion took place. He was in the Americal Division of the Army; carried the wounded back to surgery. I wonder if he ever carried wounded men to Dr. Daniel Pearson for surgery. Very interesting story. I heard a few stories of the jungle, Hill 260, the million-dollar tree (the Navy shelled the area with large number of shells); hand-to-hand combat; because of the dense jungle. Japanese could be within 15 feet and fire a weapon and not be detected as to their location.
