The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Ramon Acuna. Acuna grew up in Arizona and joined the Army National Guard in 1941. He joined the Bushmasters, Company B, known as the Bushmasters. Acuna spent time in Panama for a year before sailing to Brisbane, Australia on the USS Dickman (APA-13). He also spent time on Toem and Wakde Netherlands, New Guinea, and Luzon. His division was at the Battle of Lone Tree Hill or the battle of Wakda-Sarmi. Acuna stayed on Sarmi, ill with malaria, which his team went onto Noemfoor Island. Once he recovered he rejoined them. On the road to Rosario, Acuna's arm was hit and he went to a hospital at San Fernando. From the hospital he was taken to Hollandia and from there took the USS Monterey (CVL-26) back to San Francisco for more surgery.
