James Ehinger Serves With Famous Seabees In Pacific

Jam e s Ehinger, electrician's mate, second class, of the Seabees, who has been in the navy’s construction division since he entered the service in February, 1943, is now stationed with a battalion of Seabees in the combat area in the North Pacific. The commanding officer, Commander Richard R. Cook of the 87th construction battalion, of which Mr. Ehinger is a member, paid high compliment to the men for their services in constructing airplane strips and landing fields in the Pacific war area. Citing that upon taking charge of the unit, he gave it the sobriquet of the “Lost Battalion,” because the gallant work of the men had not been publicized, Commander Cook, eaid: “Long before the Iwo Jiina and Philippine invasions, this battalion saw combat duty. They have had six combat deaths, and have been awarded at least two dozen Purple Heart medals. “From a construction viewpoint, this outfit completed one of the

most important projects in the South Pacific. They were in on the initial occupation of the Treasury Islands, and, from what I gather, they found that the bomber strip they were to build had to be carved out of solid jungle. Nineteen days after the first tree was felled toward building the strip, which incidentally, was to play such an important part in neutralizing Raboul, Bougainville, and other Jap held South Pacific islands, a B-25 bomber returning from a combat mission in a damaged condition and with empty fuel tank, made a satisfactory emergency landing on the pavtically constructed strip. Forty-five minutes later another plane in a similar condition also found the strip to be a life-saver. If these boys hadn’t worked night and day, under the most adverse weather conditions, the crews of those planes would never have found a place to set their crippled planes.” Mrs. Ehinger, the forjner Zula Porter and daughter reside on Fourth street in this city.
