Chichi history
I have been looking all over for
any history of Chichi
Jima in particular, and the Bonins
in general.
I visited the island in the `50s,
while on a
beat-to-hell destroyer escort
on Trust Territory
patrol. As an E.M., I was not
really encouraged to mix
with the locals (we WERE a fairly
raunchy lot). The
story I heard was that the locals
were descended from
whaling station personnel, and
considered themselves
American, even to speaking an
American dialect.
I would be grateful for any information
you can give
me, or any leads to follow.
Thank you
Ed Swanzey

My interest
John,
I came across your website while
looking for
information on Iwo Jima. I've
never been to Chichi but
it sounds like a wonderful place.
I and some other
Marines "Invaded" Iwo two or three
times in the
mid-1950's. They were really miserable
operations, but
turned me into something of a
dove. Its hard to think
about the seven thousand men who
died for that eight
square miles of real estate. I
just hope we get it all
figured out before it's too late.
I'm going to sign off
now so I can continue to search
for a decent map of
Iwo.

I'd appreciate if you share with

every place is called in English?
How many people lived
there? How was the school? What

Hey, Doc
I lived next to you for several
months before you left
the Island. I think I arrived
at Chichi in March of 66
and ended up having a wonderful
time while there. I
think that Dale Johnson was the
OinC, I'm sure that you
remember him. I do remember that
you had to leave
before I was able to get to know
you as well as I would
have liked too! Perhaps it would
jog your memory in
that I banged up my knee just
after arriving and after
you checked it out, you sent me
to Guam to get it(knee)
whacked on.
I was just yesterday, while at
work, telling some of my
fellow workers about Chichi. I
think it got started by
talking about fishing. . . and
from there all the great
stories about ChiChi begin to
flow. I decided to search
the web today, and bingo, up pops
Dr. John.
During my stay at Chichi, ( I played
XO) I really go to
know your inlaws very well. .

anyone else there. Knowing and
spending time with Willy

wandered around the graveyard
on the mountain, knowing

I can confirm the grave
of Nathaniel Savory is still there

There were two graves alongisde
each other of a young

that an accident had occured but
one of the local
'american' residents told me that
they had killed
themselves with a shotgun after
their love had be
forbidden by their families. Sad
stuff. What shook me
the most was the fortifications
(well, tunnels) that
the Japanese had built as a welcome
for the US marines.
There were machine gun bunkers
as good as new
everywhere. As it happened, the
Chichi battalion (5,000
I think) were all shipped off
to Iwo Jima where, as is

died. As i was

Japanese ships sunk off Yome Shima, August 1945
Greetings, Dr. Wick:
Great web page with very interesting
information. I was
a crewman on the destroyer, USS
Dunlap DD384 whereon
the offficial ceremonies of the
Bonin Islands took
place. I have some official Navy
photos of that
occurance.
I would like to learn the names
of the two (or three)
Japanese ships we sunk off Yome
Jima, August, 1945. We
took 53 Japanese survivors aboard
to transport to Guam.
A shipmate and I, unbeknown to
other ship personnel,
rescued one survivor ourselves.
I would like to locate
that survivor, or his kin, to
return some of his
miscellaneous possessions.

Bonin Islands Surrender, 1945
Japan officially surrended its
Bonin Islands chain to
Ameican Forces, Sept. 3, 1945,
at conclusion of World
War II.The formal capitulation
ceremony took place on
the fantail of the US Destroyer,
Dunlap, DD384,
anchored about three miles off
ChiChi Jima, largest of
the Bonin Islands chain. This
"little surrender" event
followed by one day Japan's historic
surrender, Sept.
2, 1945, aboard the giant battleship,
Missouri, in
Tokyo harbor, 600 miles away.Accepting
the surrender
for the United States was Commodore
John H. Magruder,
USN Deputy Commander Marianas.
Representing the
Imperial Japanese Forces, Bonin
Islands, was Lt.
General Y. Tachibana. Decades
later the Bonin Islands
were returned to Japan under President
George Bush's
administration.

Bonin Islands
Greetings Dr.Wick
I spent approximately three months
on ChiChi Jima
in 1955 as part of a Marine contingent
out of Guam.
The Marines stationed there at
that time were
guarding some top secret goods
stored in caves
on the island. Of course we were
never told anything
about the "goods".
Now, I suppose these were atomic
weapons of some
sort.
Being only nineteen years old
at the time I did'nt ask
to many questions. Nevertheless
the
island and it's people, both native
and military,
were quite open and enjoyable
and I have fond
memories of the experience.

I found your site very interesting.
I was on Chi-chi i
1957. I remember Willie and Nobuko
they were good
friends to all the Navy and Marine
Personnel.I was an
Equipment operator Working with
Chief Floyd. We were
all cleared for secret in those
days on account of
"Marys little Lamb" Which was
stored in the copper cave
with a contingent of Marines to
Guard it. We ran
electricity from the old Cat Generators
to the
Islanders Homes. I even plowed
up Willies garden spot
so he could plant it with the
old grader we had. It has
been a long time but i think of
Chichi every now and
then and often wondered how it
progressed. By looking
at the pictures there is not to
much left of the old

Hi John/Elsie
Just got back from visiting Chichi.
Gosh, the place had
changed so much. Bars, motels,
and stores - it's all
over the island - even in Yankeetown.
I've counted 48
bars, 1 church (the yesteryear's
memory from the Navy
days), 48 motels/inns, and strangers
walking our once
upon-a-time streets. Seeing these
changes brought few
tears. I kind-na liked the old
Chichi better. Seeing
mama and papa was great. My dad
Abel - considering his
age, is very active with windsurfing.
Isabell and Barbara are looking

PS. We need someone to organize

MCB11 Seabee during 1959
I was with a small contingent of
Seabees that came to
the Island as part of MCB 11 from
Guam We came on an
LST that hauled all kinds of stuff
from Guam to Saipan
to Tinian and many other islands.
It stank of copra and
they had outhouses over the side
of the ship for
natives to go to the bathroom.
It took two weeks to go
from Guam to Chichi Jima. We carried
all our equipment
in the LST.
Our job was to make a pier and
a seaplane ramp, I have
heard stories that neither survived
more then 4 months
after we left. I would like to
know if that is true.
I could have stayed on at ChiChi
Jima and brought my
family over. I was a second class
petty officer
Construction Mechanic and while
I was there the Second
class stationed on the island
got caught feeding
whiskey to one the native women.
He was off the island

I recently received a letter from
John Wick. He
mentioned this web page. I opened
it tonight(7/27/99).
It is great. I see several friends
and students who
have left messages. I will be
in contact with you when
time permits. I had a wonderful
time on ChiChi. I am in
regular contact with some of my
students,such as Jessel
Savory. Write me when time permits,P.O.Box
770,West
Richland WA 99353. I hope to visit
Chichi one day soon.
I too think we need another CHICHI
REUNION. I attended
the one in San Diego in 1994.
It was fun. Best Wishes
to all.
George Wolcott
