That's outstanding!!! GS

Finally got more photos 

I do have a GCM group to one of the USS Quail Sailors that made it to Australia.  Some of the crew used a large wooden boat and made a home run.    In May 1942, after the Quail (AM-15) was scuttled during the fall of Corregidor in the Philippines, 18 of her crew—commanded by Lt. Cmdr. John H. Morrill—fled in a 36-foot Navy motor launch. They navigated over 2,000 miles of Japanese-controlled ocean, arriving safely in Darwin, Australia, 29 days later   Kurt

An officer's bedroll, maybe.

Found this on Marketplace place, claims it’s a tarp but they won’t give me more photos besides these two
