January 3, 1945, when he was evacuated from Leyte Island and hospitalized

Small world, my Mom's ship, USHS Marigold, evacuated casualties (to Hollandia) from Leyte from Dec 25 to Dec 30, probably returning Jan 6 or 7. Just missed

Well, God bless your mom. I'll bet she was a glorious sight to the sick and wounded evacuees. If she missed my father there were others like her when his turn came.
