SSgt Bill Goodall ("Dad") was in the 472nd QM Trucking Company "I" at Camp Sutton in Monroe, NC, and states he landed in Bombay, India in early 1943. Later they left to the Himalayan mountains near the Leado (sp?) Road. He continues we left there in late 1944 and went to Karachi (today Pakistan) where Company I left to come back to the US and landed in New York City on Dec 23, 1944.
