Walter Irvin's Diary - World War I Pharamist Mate (Hardcover)

Irvin's story captures a penetrating and epic look at a young Texas
boy, whose young years were spent on a small farm near Bradshaw,
Texas. In a defining decision, he struck out for California in
search of a better life. The unsettled abusive home environment
seems to have guided Walter away from home. Walter was gifted with
an inspiring mind-a person with potential to be. His mother,
knowing his difficult stormy life, wanted better for her son and
signed for him to enlist in the military. Walter's diary helps to
put a face on the World War I "Battle at Sea" and life of a
"Pharmacist Mate." He served six years and nine months in the navy,
sailing with the fair winds of the sea aboard the USS Saranac.
During World War I, Walter served on the Saranac during a dangerous
mission that kept all ship crew alert on the United States
Mine-Squadron One, North Sea, in fog and bad weather, a task never
before done in the world. Walter's enlistment and subsquent
struggle will fill one with awe of a young man with a passion of
proficiency with a deep love of sports.
