Hello, does anyone know the name of the ship’s surgeon whose letter to his sister about his experience at Tarawa was published anonymously in Time Magazine April 24, 1944 ? Thanks.

I thought my mind was playing tricks on me. I knew there was a Chief murdered on board the Murray and this was the first time I’ve heard it mentioned in over 50 years. At least I know I’m not hallucinating and it did happen . I was on board 61- 64 forward fireroom.
