Notes
Within the 1054th,
use of the term "rigger" seems to have included operators and pile bucks
as well as hook tenders. It may have meant any non HQ personnel in the
dock sections.
While in the Philippines,
the more seriously sick and injured from the 1054th were treated at the
9th General Hospital on Biak. They would be evacuated on hospital ships such
as the U.S.S. Dogwood and if returned to duty, flown back
to Luzon.
Please email
if you have stories or info about the 1054 or it soldiers
