Condición: Good+. On offer is an amazing, original pre-World War II manuscript diary handwritten by Clarence Laken as staed on the inside cover: "Clarence Laken Gunners Mate 1st Class, United States Navy. USS Gamble #123 Pearl Harbor Territory Hawaii." This is a super relic of pre-World War II serviceman's life as the diary represents 5 years, 1936 - 1940 and we read how he was working with the mines; overhauling them, and working at the mine depot there in Hawaii until August 11th when he was transferred to the USS Roper and headed to San Diego. He then boards the USS Detroit. Takes a leave and heads to Oregon and from there takes a train for Minnesota, he then comes back to San Francisco. This is still in 1936. Then 1937 finds him on the USS Texas in Annapolis Maryland and the Brooklyn Navy Yard. 1938 he's on the USS Montcalm in Florida at the Naval Station and in 1939 in Cuba in the Guatemala Bay and finally in Norfolk Virginia in 1940. A very full diary with an entry for everyday of the year for 5 complete years but interestingly Clarence summarizes his service in the back under the heading "Index of Important Notes" wherein he states: "Honorably discharged Sept. 8th, 1936. Shipped over.November 11th, 1938 observed a National Holiday for the first time 20 years after hostilities ceased in the World warPaid off. Transferred to Fleet Naval Reserve June 20th, 1939.
