The two following Army
documents are from the "Supplement to the Harbor Defense Project, Harbor
Defenses of Sitka" dated 1944. This is an Army status
report that was classified until 1962. This document is often
referred to as the "Annexes." I scanned the pages and
cleaned up the 'dirt' from the copy machines. |
