Oral History Interview with Paul Dillon
No full textThe National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Paul Dillon. Dillon was in the army until he was discharged in September 1941 after being seriously injured from being run over by a military vehicle. He held various jobs until June 1942 at which time he entered the Navy and trained at Norfolk, Virginia. Upon graduation he was selected for gunnery school at Little Creek, Virginia. After training he was sent to the Brooklyn Armed Guard Center for assignment. Recalling his assignment as a naval gunner on the SS Jacob Luckenbach (1918), he tells of taking a shipment of planes and parts to Persia for shipment to Russia. On his next trip he was on a ship equipped with an experimental type of anti-torpedo gear called M-29. His next assignment was aboard the SS John A. Poor (1943). He recalls an explosion (mines) that knocked out the engine. As a consequence the ship was dead until sea-going tugs towed the ship to Halifax for repairs. He also describes the ship being torpedoed on 19 March 1944 off of the coast of Ceylon. Of the 106 assigned to the ship, only 39 survived. The survivors were picked up by the SS John Walch and taken to Colombia, Ceylon. In January 1945 Dillon was sent to the Philippines for assignment to the USS Dobbin (AD-3). The ship returned to the United States in November 1945 and he was discharged
