| Publisher Description: Seabee Cruise Book-133 Naval Construction Battalion 1943-1945. The 133rd NCB landed with the first waves of Marines on Iwo Jima Feb 19, 1945. The 133rd NCB suffered the highest casualty rate of any Seabee Battalion to date, 43% casualties. Cruise Books are Informal and nonofficial in nature (they sometimes are compared to college yearbooks) These publications offer insights into the daily activities and attitudes from the perspective of a unit's crew. Cruise books dating from the World War II years are rare today, but they are of special note because of the intense interest by veterans, writers, and scholars in a conflict that involved the entire American nation and engulfed most of the rest of the world. Care has been taken to render the best copy possible. However, quality of this book is based on the condition of the original, and current technology available. All proceeds from the sale of this book are donated to non-profit organizations. |
