February 12, 1944 - New Caledonia

After sailing for 3 weeks from San Diego, Daddy and the S.S. Tyler made it to port in New Caledonia.

As part of the USMC 41st Replacement Battalion on the S.S. Tyler, Daddy made it to New Caledonia.  He did not note anything of importance during this time, and I am suspicious they continued their journey to Guadalcanal on the same ship, because he didn't reference any changes regarding ships in his travel log.

His next date that he recorded was Feb. 21 Guadalcanal, so I'm sure they stayed in New Caledonia for part of that time.  Don't think it would have taken 9 days to get there.
