Searching for Ben Smittle (spelling phonetically). He was from the Philadelphia, PA. area.

Approximately two weeks after the war ended, we left Okinawa and were sent to Tsingtao, China with the possibility that some went to Peking.

I have had no success with spelling the last name with several variations.

Aboard the ship, Ben was a card player, probably poker and he participated in exhibition boxing matches en route to Tsingtao.

The photos I have may be of interest to Ben or surviving family members.
