12th AAA War Diary Entry : August 19-26
Beginning today, I will be updating the blog with the unclassified war diary entries of the 12th AAA from these dates in 1944. I was able to make copies of these documents in August of 2009 at the National Archives. There are quite a few dates with nothing substantial, but some are quite interesting, and especially so once the unit lands on Peleliu September 15.
