| The following story is
donated by Joseph Hayes Todd whose father, Robert William Todd serving
on USS Duntroon in 1942, participated in the food fight:
During February, 1942, my father, Robert William Todd, a soldier
in the U.S. Army Air Corp, was at sea for about one month (his estimate)
en route from Melbourne, Australia to Colombo, Ceylon. During this
time the meals aboard ship were the same three orbs each day: a boiled
potato, a boiled egg and an orange. Breakfast, lunch
and dinner, day after day. In the end, both crews had to clean the ships thoroughly, but what could commanders do, discipline thousands, or entire crews of two ships? Wasting government property (food) was a serious offense, at least on the U.S. side, but everyone seemed guilty. |
