As a telegraphist with the Pacific
Fleet Task Force, V Gray heard of the
atomic bomb attacks on the cities of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
"Tokyo would have been next. I can only
conclude that the Japanese got wind of
this and subsequently surrendered
before Tokyo vanished from the earth.
"I remember feeling that the Japanese
were getting their just desserts for
the wanton cruelty that they inflicted
throughout the Pacific since 1936.
"Onj example is when receiving messages
of sighting lifeboats, they always said
they had been machine-gunned."
