The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Joseph Doyon. Doyon worked as a machinist at Bath Iron Works until he joined the Navy in March 1943. He was sent to diesel school and then small boat training to become an engineman on a LCVP. Doyon was assigned to USS LST-506, which traveled to England. He tells of the preparations for D-Day taking part in the landing on 6 June at Normandy. Doyon describes picking up wounded on the beach and several Asian POWs in German uniforms. He discusses the difficulties that the LSTs had getting ashore and one incident where he had to use signal flags to direct one of them away from a mine field. Doyon was then a part of a Navy detachment that was sent inland with their LCVPs to take part in the crossing of the Rhine River. He describes some of the events that he witnessed including a barge carrying German prisoners capsizing. Doyon was sent to the Pacific soon after and was on Kwajalein when the war ended. He left the service six months later.
