doyler Posted August 15, 2023 Share #631 Posted August 15, 2023 Original caption: When Coast Guardsman Ernest E. Jullerat, storekeeper first class, enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard he promised his dad that he would participate in more battles than "the old man" did in World War One. The elder Jullerat had rolled up a score of five. Young Jullerat kept his promise, when he fought in the assault upon the Palaus Islands, 515 miles from the Philippines. That was his sixth invasion from a Coast Guard-manned invasion transport. No wonder he proudly raised the sign, "I did it, Pop." Jullerat's home is in Dunbar, W. Va. (N.A.)

Wonderful pic and ID. Dad was in the 3rd Battalion there. He variously carried a BAR and served a .30 cal machine gun during the war. But I have no idea what he used on Eniwetok.

Twitchy trigger fingers would've dissuaded most. I would wager this was taken in the Alsace, and he got it from a member of the 6th SS Mountain Division Nord, when this unit arrived from Norway to the West Front, they brought with them these SS Anoraks they wore earlier in Finland.
