NEWSPAPER ARTICLE

TRANSFERRED TO MELBOURNE
Lt. (j. g.) Harold Lavender who has been an instructor at the Naval Training Station at Pensacola, Florida for the past 19 months, received orders two weeks ago to report at the Naval Base, Melbourne, Florida where he will be checked out as a Patrol Plane Commander on the PBM's (Martin Mariner). He and wife drove to Melbourn early last week and the same day they accompanied one of Harold's former roommates and an instructor with him since they were commissioned, Lt. (j. g.) Kester Pratt, to Hollywood, Florida to spend their three day leave with his parents who are wintering in Florida, and who did everything to see that they had a bit of Christmas. They called on Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Noble and Anita at their home in Miami. They expect to be at Melbourne until February.

NEWSPAPER ARTICLE - Montgomery County Leader

We are printing one of Harold’s letters received last week it being his first uncensored letter. He is Commander of a PBM, Martin Mariner 5 and while we kept up with him through the press releases of his squadron, and knew just where he was by watching the daily papers but it was his first word of what the squadron was doing:

September 12, ‘45
Dear Mother:--Here I am back from Tokyo and no worse for wear. In fact, it was a most enjoyable trip. We flew high and cooled off for the first time in weeks and while we were there the temperature was low enough that a jacket was needed for comfort.
At night we slept aboard the tender rolled up in a blanket and really were comfortable. At last Naval censorship has been lifted and I am able to write a little more about what I am doing. Not that you didn’t know where I probably was. But for the past two months I’ve been in Saipan. Our new run is from Saipan to Tokyo Bay.
On my first flight I carried about three tons of mail and cargo, including five hundred pounds of whole blood and a great deal of airmail.
I landed in Tokyo Bay in the middle of the afternoon, but not before I had seen a few of the sights around Tokyo, Yokohama and Yokasuka. Most interesting sight to me was the remains of the battleship Nagato, formerly one of Tokyo’s pride and joys, and now nothing more than a rusty hulk aground in the Bay. We flew over the airfields with Jap planes, most of them damaged, setting about the fields, and saw some of the effects of the concentrated bombing on the warehouses and docks. Though the bad weather kept me from seeing all of Tokyo we saw enough to know that it is just about the worst mess one ever imagined. Here and there a building remains, but, many blocks are nothing but rubble.
Since the trip was only a routine flight with no danger of contacting the enemy (since there is no more enemy), I let my pilots and an extra one I carried with me, do all of the work on the flight and I relaxed for the entire trip.
I suppose it is now permissible for me to tell you what I have been doing for part of the past few months. After leaving Hawaii I proceeded with a new plane to Kerama Retta, a circle of islands about thirty miles west of Okinawa. There I joined my squadron which had been there since D-Day minus two.
The going was rough up there. The circle of islands, which enclosed a landing area for seaplanes, was entirely inhabited by Japs. We anchored our planes just a hundred or two yards off the beaches and kept continuous watches for Japs coming down out of the hills.
Air raids were so numerous that it wasn’t any novelty. Our own tender was hit by a kamikaze shortly before I arrived there, but it was not put out of action. I did get to see two kamikazes strike at two of our tenders and it was really a great thrill. One of the kamikazes struck a ship anchored about three hundred yards from us and another struck about six hundred yards from us. The first one struck the sick bay of the ship and killed more than fifty. The other ship suffered only slight loss of life and slight damage.
Our patrols were long and fairly dangerous. Part of the reason for the danger was that we made them that way. VPB 18 hold the record for enemy shipping sunk by a seaplane squadron and we’re proud of it, but it wasn’t done by flying out in the middle of the ocean. We had to go in close to do any good and when you went in close you either were jumped by enemy planes or shot at by shore installations, and we took our losses when we did it.
Our patrols ran from Kerama west to the China coast and covered the entire coast up to the Shantung Peninsula three hundred miles north of Shanghai. Then we had patrols up both sides of Korea, the hottest of all our sectors. These sectors were dangerous because it was across that narrow stretch of water that Japan was trying to get through with what shipping it had left. It was off Korea that we ran into the most concentrated enemy air opposition. We had one other sector, up the Ryukas Island Chain to Kyushu thence along the East coast of Japan to the north part of Shikoku. We ran these patrols both night and day.
I was lucky enough to get three ships sunk and one damaged during my stay at Kerama, but that record looks pretty poor when you compare it to some of the fellows’ scores. Several of the fellows have enemy planes to their credit, but I never managed to bag one.
One day flying south of Shanghai we flew in close to land and found an operative radio station on a small island off the coast. We were supposed to remain at least ten miles off the coast, but is was our squadron’s policy to go in as far as necessary to get something, as long as you did get something. Our day patrols were always two plane sections to get the added protection against enemy fighters. The two of us went in together and got most of the men before they could man their guns. After strafing them we dropped strings of bombs on the buildings from a hundred feet and got pictures of their effect. I doubt if they ever did any more broadcasting from the station. On a second run I made a rather humorous mistake. I saw a lot of movement and told my bow gunner to open up with all he had. He shot right into the midst of the commotion with good results, but when I got close enough to see what we were shooting at I found we’d shot into a herd of pigs. It there was anyone left alive on that little island they certainly had fresh pork for a week or two.
On another day we were flying about ten miles off the coast of Shikoku when we spotted several ships in close to shore. Since the ceiling was down to about 100 feet we had surprise on our side. We slipped in and sunk five of them. I got credit for sinking three. We’d make runs on them strafing them until their gas tanks would blow up and then we would drop bombs on them to sink them. After we’d finished them we spotted another radio station on shore and we gave it a satisfactory working over. Then I saw a large metal landing craft making a run for the harbor entrance. I caught him and from what I could see, my gunners killed every man on board, but it just wouldn’t sink. The next day another patrol looked for it, but the Japs had either towed it into the harbor or it sunk after I left.
On my night flights I had several exciting experiences. On every one of them I flew, I was chased by enemy night fighters. I don’t think they have the good homing devices our navy has, for I never was actually attacked by them, though you could see them flying along a hundred or two yards away form us on two or three occasions.
One night flying along the coast of Shanghai, I ran into some winds that weren’t predicted. North of Shanghai there is nothing but marsh land and unless you can see it in the day time it is almost impossible to know whether you are over land or sea.
The winds must have been strong, for I came to my senses with seven enemy planes flying around me. I turned out to sea and gave the plane all it would take, cruising it at about 190 knots, the equal of about 212 miles per hour. After flying out to sea for some time one of my co-pilots said he saw the breakers of a shore line. A check on our actual position showed that we were pretty nearly over Shanghai. I was careful in that sector after that.
It is almost bed time, so I’ll stop this writing. Love, Harold

Note: While Harold was on active duty, his mother, Angeline (Davault) Lavender, was the acting editor of the Montgomery County Leader.

(front) (back.) MARRIAGE ANNOUNCEMENT

MABREY-LAVENDER
In a very quiet and simple wedding, Alfred Harold Lavender of this place and Miss Mary Desloge Mabrey, of Jefferson City, Mo., were united in marriage at Pensacola, Florida Sunday, March 5th, 1944. The ceremony was performed at the home of the Rev. Carson Preer, a Methodist Minister, at Pensacola, at 8:30 a. m.
The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Nancy Mabrey, of Jefferson City, who had accompanied her South to attend the wedding. The bride is the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Carter Mabrey, of Jefferson City, where the family have resided for a number of years. Prior to that time they resided at Potosi, Missouri. The romance of the young couple started three years ago in Jefferson City, when Harold was Clerk for the late W. B. Whitlow, of Fulton, Mo., and the bride was Clerk for Senator Allison of Rolla, Mo., during the six months session of the State Legislature. Since that time she has been a frequent visitor to the Lavender home. She is a very attractive young woman and during her visits to this place she has made many friends by her friendly and winning personality.
The groom is so well known to all that we have nothing further to say, he has been a wonderful son and we wish him all the happiness in the world with the bride of his choice whom we have grown very fond of. He has been in the service of his country nearly two years. On May 7th, 1943 he was commissioned an Ensign in the U.S. Naval Reserve, at the Naval Air Station, Pensacola Florida where he has since been based as an Instructor. The young couple have gone to housekeeping at 501 N. 17th Ave., Pensacola, Florida.

(front) (back.) MARRIAGE ANNOUNCEMENT

MABREY-LAVENDER
In a very quiet and simple wedding, Alfred Harold Lavender of this place and Miss Mary Desloge Mabrey, of Jefferson City, Mo., were united in marriage at Pensacola, Florida Sunday, March 5th, 1944. The ceremony was performed at the home of the Rev. Carson Preer, a Methodist Minister, at Pensacola, at 8:30 a. m.
The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Nancy Mabrey, of Jefferson City, who had accompanied her South to attend the wedding. The bride is the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Carter Mabrey, of Jefferson City, where the family have resided for a number of years. Prior to that time they resided at Potosi, Missouri. The romance of the young couple started three years ago in Jefferson City, when Harold was Clerk for the late W. B. Whitlow, of Fulton, Mo., and the bride was Clerk for Senator Allison of Rolla, Mo., during the six months session of the State Legislature. Since that time she has been a frequent visitor to the Lavender home. She is a very attractive young woman and during her visits to this place she has made many friends by her friendly and winning personality.
The groom is so well known to all that we have nothing further to say, he has been a wonderful son and we wish him all the happiness in the world with the bride of his choice whom we have grown very fond of. He has been in the service of his country nearly two years. On May 7th, 1943 he was commissioned an Ensign in the U.S. Naval Reserve, at the Naval Air Station, Pensacola Florida where he has since been based as an Instructor. The young couple have gone to housekeeping at 501 N. 17th Ave., Pensacola, Florida.
