Oral History Interview with Henry Trowbridge (Sound)
The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an interview with Henry Trowbridge. Trowbridge joined the Marine detachment of the Navy V-12 program in 1943. By 1944 he had completed both academic and military courses. Upon completing boot camp, Advanced Infantry School in North Carolina and being accepted into the Officer Candidate School at Quantico, Trowbridge was commissioned as a second lieutenant. By that time the war in the Pacific had ended. He traveled to Tientsin, China, and was stationed in Peking with Headquarters Company of the 5th Marine Regiment. His job was to help repatriate the more than 600,000 soldiers and Korean civilians of the Japanese reserve army stationed in North China. Trowbridge returned to the US and was discharged around 1946.
