Two diaries kept by Seymour Siegel while he was with a Coast Guard unit aboard the U.S.S. Aquarius in Peleliu (Palau) and the Philippines from July 1944 to January 1945. Siegel writes of transporting Marines and Army units, attacks from Japanese planes, his time volunteering in the sick bay, the capture of a wounded Japanese soldier, cooperation with Australian transports, Douglas MacArthur's "returning speech to the Philippine people," and the Invasion of Luzon. Also included are two transcripts of rewritten portions of the diaries, a transcript of the diaries, a typed log of the U.S.S. Aquarius, and a letter transferring Siegel to New York in 1945.
