Description

  • Content Description: The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Ray Phillips. Phillips transferred to the Navy Department after working as a civilian stenographer in the Department of the Interior. He worked in Naval Intelligence for six months, focusing on Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, and Yugoslavia. He was transferred to ACORN-14, stationed on Tarawa. There he worked for Captain Tate, a rough character who would ride his Jeep from island to island during low tide, never revealing what he was searching for. After a year, Phillips was transferred to Kwajalein, where he took dictation from an admiral and taught shorthand to a captain. Phillips returned home and upon discharge he enrolled in college. He was hired by the school as a stenographer soon after graduating.
