K. C. Burkes of Merrill has
vivid memories of the USS Ari
zona, battleship bombed to the
bottom at Pearl Harbor. Burkes
was a member of the crew of
the Arizona in the World war.
In a letter to The Herald and
News, Burkes gives interesting
excerpts from a diary he kept
during service in the navy.
His letter follows:
I was interested in an item
that appeared recently in the
Klamath News about Charles
Schaal having come home from
France after the first World
war on the U.S.S. Arizona which
was sunk during the attack on
Pearl Harbor. I was a member
of the crew on the Arizona at
the time of which Mr. Schaal
speaks and I am glad to know
of some one who shared my ex
periences. All during my en
listment in the U. S. navy I kept
a diary, some of which may be
interesting to you. The first
part of my service beginning in
May 1917 was spent in training
on the west coast. I was on the
U.S.S. Nebraska until after the
Armistice was signed, most of
the time on convoy duty be
tween New York and France.
During a storm the Nebraska
was damaged and I was trans
ferred to the Arizona. The fol
lowing is my diary from that
time on.
