| The only War Story my pop every told me, was when he was posted up on Thursday Island in WWII, They had been put on full alert, this was about a week before Coral Sea, so they were really worried.
Well one night pop got a bit on shuteye, and the next morning, he woke up and there was a chaplin standing over him. Pop had no idea how he got there, the enitre camp was in was locked down, and this chaplin had snuk in, and was staning over this Bren Gunner for about an hour. The rest of his platoon thought it was pretty funny.
Pop then said to me, "those Sky-Pilots, don't know how they got there, but they were always there when you needed them"
