Abstract

The Diary of W.L. Goodmanson was written by a Medical Corps soldier from Oregon who was stationed in the Pacific Theater during the Second World War. Goodmanson enlisted in 1939, but the bulk of his entries were written in 1944 and 1945. He discussed the places he saw, things he missed back home, and the visuals of various battles. In the beginning of the diary, he listed his personal information, general timeline of events, his awards, officers, and his "buddies."
