About Me
- Alverdo Sando
- I was drafted in the Army in 1945. I took my training in Fort Knox, KY and Fort Ord, CA and was stationed in Saipan for 13 months during WWII. I was the company clerk for the "2848 Engineer Gas Generating Detachment on Saipan. They produced Oxygen, Acetylene Welding Gas,and CO 2. After WWII, I joined the reserves and was called back to serve in the Korea War for a year in 1952. I was with the S-1 Section. During this time I attained the rank of sergeant first class.
Pray for our Troops
Let us not forget their sacrifice

Hi Al, You have some great pictures of WWII Saipan. I have been researching Saipan's history for my website and have not been able to locate a WWII or earlier photo of the Japanese Jail. Just south of the Japanese Hospital that you took a picture of was a sports field followed by the jail. Do you happen to have a picture or did you visit the site? Thank you.
