The journey
From a training station in Idaho to the waters off Tokyo. Every point below comes from Elmer’s own entries, grouped into the chapters of his war. Select one to open the diary at the passages connected to that place; while you read, the same map keeps track of where he was.
58 stops the diary itself records, at 31 places, joined in order. Select a marker to open the diary there.
The dashed line follows the places where the diary itself puts him, in order. It is an approximate journey, not an exact ship’s track. Select a marker to open the diary at the entries from that place.
All places, by chapter
Each place is listed under the chapter of the diary it belongs to, from training in Idaho to the orders home. Counts are diary mentions. Each opens the diary at the entries that name the place, with the map alongside.
