‎BERNARD B STONE‎

‎1945 - 1946 ORIGINAL HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DIARY AND LOG OF A SOLDIER ON THE USS PROVIDENCE PATROLLING THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE END OF THE BLOODIEST WAR IN HUMAN HISTORY‎

‎ABOARD THE USS PROVIDENCE IN THE MEDITERRANEAN. Good. 1945. On offer is a “Diary of Trip to Europe” by an enlisted soldier of the USS Providence CL-82 almost immediately after the end of World War 2. The name on the back of the book is Bernard B. Stone. His address is listed as Bellflower California and “Long Beach Army Air Base” is written under his name. This fascinating document traces the entirety of activities and duties everyday of the officer from November 7th 1945 to June 25 1946. The ship departed Boston and travels first to Piraeus Greece in December. Throughout the trip the ship anchors at numerous cities and countries along the mediterranean including Marseille Naples Istanbul Athens and Alexandria. In Alexandria the ship runs aground “outside harbor in channel.” He mentions that the “#3-4 shafts bent fresh water leaking and oil leaks.” After exercises and port visits in the Mediterranean the ship departed back for America on the 16th of June arriving back at Philadelphia on the 25th. Each day is described as a series of duties done by Stone along with the hour that the duty was completed. See samples below for the general feel of the entries. This is a very interesting document of history that shows exactly what a private in the Unites States Navy would do every day very shortly after the Second World War had ended. The level of detail is consistent throughout and very interesting to those who enjoy the true details of ship duty. Few personal details or observances are noted so the diary keeps to a fairly straightforward account of the duties of the soldier and the times at which these duties were completed. However free time is occasionally written such as the many times he went to the cinema or to visited landmarks in the Mediterranean such as Pompeii. he also mentions the names of the Chief Watertender a man named Williams and another man who he refers to as “C.A.M. Hobbs.” He also mentions meeting the Crown Prince and Princess of Greece while in Alexandria. The book is approximately 180 pages in length of which there is writing in all but the last 40 or so pages. The cover is green with the words ‘Memoranda’ printed on front and ‘50172. Manufactured by U.S. Government Printing Office’ on the back cover. It is in good condition with some wear on the spine and edges. A few pages have some slight discoloration and fading but nothing that affects legibility. Stone writes in pencil in an easily readable hand. The book is bound at the top and opens upwards. Pages are read top to bottom instead of left to right. Sample entries: “11-12-45: 1100 Changed time ahead 1 hr. 2 zone. 1400. Took shots for cowpox-Typhus. 1900. Went to movie saw W.
