Oral History Interview with David Ellis, September 21, 2001
No full textThe National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with David Ellis. Ellis was born on 8 March 1918 in Big Spring, Texas and enlisted in the Army in 1936. He went to Officer Candidate School, where he was trained in intelligence. His first duty station was in Hawaii, where he was assigned to the Navy’s Central Pacific Command by mistake. Next he was sent to Okinawa as a platoon leader in the 17th Infantry Regiment, 7th Infantry Division. On Okinawa, Ellis was wounded and evacuated to a hospital ship and ultimately a field hospital in Saipan. His wounds left him unfit to return to combat and to be returned to the US due to the shell fragments embedded in his chest. Ellis walked away from the hospital and managed to get on a flight back to Okinawa and returned to his unit. The war ended shortly after he was given command of the regiment’s Intelligence and Reconnaissance (IR) platoon. The regiment then embarked on ships to Korea. During the transit, he was summoned to the flag bridge on the ship and assigned an intelligence gathering mission by Major General Archibald Arnold, 7th Infantry Division’s Commanding Officer. Ellis describes the mission as accepting the surrender of a Japanese general and his forces at an airfield in Korea

Visit this record in UMA's new catalogue at: https://archives.library.unimelb.edu.au/nodes/view/276205Michael David (defence) and Greg James (prosecution) at the war crimes trial of Ivan Ivanechko (Polyukhovich), March 1992. John Ellis describes the background to the taking of the photograph: "By chance I was in Adelaide when the committal hearings for the first Australian War Crimes trial began (Second World War). The charges were brought against Ivan Timofeyevich Polyukhovich (also known as Ivanechko) for crimes alleged to have happened in the town of Serniki, in the Ukraine. As a child living through the war and later watching the emergence of fascist-type elements in Australia, I have always retained an interest in the Holocaust and its aftermath (after all, my mother was Jewish, Freda Olga Cohen). In later years I also befriended people who suffered at the hands of the Ustashi in Australia and I felt that somehow I too was part of that nightmarish period. I was inextricably drawn to witness this event. The accused was finally acquitted of all charges. David Bevan, an ABC journalist who covered the trial, wrote an excellent book, A Case to Answer about the trial. Among newspaper cuttings in this album is a letter I wrote and had published in The Age. There is also an abusive and threatening letter I received after publication of the letter.
