Howdy,
Thanks for your letter, I was certainly glad to hear from the School and the news of the boys in the service.
I was sorry to hear of the boys who have had their final transfer, and hope with you that those reported missing will turn up after spending some time on a desert island without Hedy Lamarr.
Thank you anyway for the fellow who got my cigarettes. I was spending a couple of weeks fishing, and we have an agreement that any packages for boys on fishing trips are opened and shared, and I guess they forgot to tell me.
On the first of May my CO was kind enough to recommend me for first class. It went through and I have no doubt the business staff would be interested in hearing of it.
I would be interested in getting the addresses of those fellows who were in my B. B. A. evening division class and are now in the service. I met Mello when I first went in, but have no idea where he is now. Some of the others are probably in one branch or the other and it would be interesting to where and what.
Very truly yours Marshall M. Fowler [Transcription ends
Oral History Interview with Trenton Fowler, January 17, 2001
No full textThe National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Trenton Fowler. Fowler grew up in Corpus Christi and enlisted into the Marine Corps in 1943. Once he finished training, he was assigned to the 4th Marine Raider Battalion and shipped out on the French transport ship Rochambeau to New Caledonia. From there he went to Guadalcanal for training and then to the Emirau, Guam, and Okinawa campaigns, with stops at Guadalcanal in between each campaign. Fowler discusses the pros and cons of the Browning Automatic Rifle versus the M-1 Garand. He tells of the change of his unit's name from the 4th Battalion Raiders to the 6th Marine Division, before he went to Okinawa. He relates the experience of finding out his brother, a fellow Marine, had died at Iwo Jima
