"And Let the Rest of the World Roll By"
"The thoughts of Arthur James Yettke, aviation boatswain's
mate, third class, USN, are far from the realities of war as
he catches a few winks while waiting for striking planes to return
home. 'Home', for the present, is the escort carrier USS Rendova
(CVE-114) now operating off the coast of Korea with the Marine
'Devilcats' Squadron."
Photograph and caption released by Commander Naval Forces Far
East, under date of 20 October 1951.
His bed, and the surroundings, consist of .50 caliber machine
gun ammunition in wooden crates, ammunition cans and unpackaged
in links. Crates are marked with both Navy Bureau of Ordnance
crossed cannon and Army Ordnance flaming bomb.
Official U.S. Navy Photograph, from the "All Hands"
