The ship in question was the troop ship USS Admiral H. T. Mayo, AP-125. I was a crew member of that ship at the same time as Victor Mature. We sailed from San Pedro, CA through the Panama Canal and arrived at Le Havre, France on 12 June, 1945. We picked up almost 5000 former German prisoners of war and brought them home to Boston, Massachusetts, arriving there on 21 June, 1945.
