Oral History Interview with B. C. Peters, January 1, 2000
No full textThe National Museum of the Pacific War presents an interview with B C Peters. Peters joined the Navy in September of 1942. He served with the 31st Seabee Battalion. From 1942 to 1943 he worked in Bermuda, building a refueling station as well as working with a survey crew. He worked on surveys for the construction of a submarine dock at St. Georges and a military highway near Hamilton. He was transferred to Camp Endicott, Rhode Island, where he was trained as Crew Chief of an 81mm mortar squad and his survey party made a topographic map of the area. They were later assigned to the mountains of Hawaii and he describes his living conditions there, and the scenery. They completed physical training and trained aboard an LCM as well. They traveled to Eniwetok and Iwo Jima. He provides great detail of landing at Iwo Jima and the battle that ensued. Peters’ group was there to repair the airfield closest to Mt. Suribachi, and then set up shop in foxholes on the island. He provides great detail of his experiences there. He assisted with the surveying and engineering of another airfield and describes his involvement. After Iwo Jima he returned to the States for a discharge. Peters went on to work for the Department of the Army as a civilian and retired in 1975

Apparently William Peters was some sort of aide to Governor Hamilton and was tasked with writing a difficult report. Hamilton was very annoyed that the Assembly and Council wrote its own report--they had no business writing reports on Indian affairs. Peters pointed out that the complaint was made by the Indians in a public forum, so the Governor had to investigate and write his own report. It seemed apparent that the report would come down to blaming the Assembly for not providing the funds to amply compensate the Indians, or the Governor would be blamed for trying to short-change the Indians. Either way, it was possible for those in London to think the chicanery may have caused the Indians' recent mischief in revenge for duplicitous land dealings. Peters had worked with a Mr. Scull to try to clarify the many lengthy documents at issue, but without success. Hamilton was indignant; he would never deal falsely with such an important population.
