Personal memoirs describe a Navy transport’s early days at sea from an unnamed port. Troops endure bunking, seasickness, and KP life, learn guard duties, and glimpse submarines as escort ships bring the convoy toward land.
American troops in India drink a new soft drink dubbed champagne after Capt G Barrish converted a base port building into a bottling plant. The soda, a cross between cream soda and coke, sells for three annas a bottle and meets sanitation needs, producing about 5,000 bottles daily. Milklike but nonalcoholic, it fills a Coke gap in extreme heat with scarce beer and limited rations.
