How a World War Changed an Alabama Family, Part 8

by Glenn N. Holliman

Christmas 1941...A Homesick Sailor on Liberty....

In another fit of madness and arrogance and honoring the agreement of the Japanese alliance, Adolf Hitler declared on December 11, 1941 that Germany was at war with the United States.  Italy followed suit, and the U.S. Congress quickly replied in kind.  The United States now faced global war on numerous fronts after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Bishop Holliman, b. 1919, of Irondale, Alabama spent his first Christmas away from his large and close-knit family by taking a day's leave from his Navy training station in Norfolk, Virginia to visit the nation's capitol on December 25, 1941.  Winston Churchill, then in Washington, D.C. spent Christmas with the Roosevelt's at the White House where planning for a response to the Axis powers - Germany, Italy and Japan - continued for over a month. Their planning would yield rich results in time, but that holiday season, the Allied cause was reeling under the massed forces of Japan, Italy and Germany.

"I had been in boot camp since November 13, 1941.  Ordinarily, basic training went on for 6 to 8 weeks but because of the war and, hence, the need to get men to ships and service stations as soon as possible, training was reduced to 4 or 6 weeks. Our platoon (305) disbanded before Christmas and we were assigned to K.P. duty on the base.  My first liberty came on Christmas Eve, and I rode to Washington, D.C.  I have forgotten how I got there back, but, believe me, for a little more than 24 hours, I forsook the Navy and turned my thoughts to things!

 I was due back to the base Christmas night.  I knew the family would be gathering on Christmas Day just as they always had, but I would not be there.  They would be expecting a telephone call from me, and I fully expected to call home as soon as I could upon reaching D.C.

 Washington was indeed a crowded city that first Christmas of the war.  Winston Churchill was at the White House.  Thousands of service men had crowded into the city as had civilians who were working there, passing through, or visiting.  There was hardly a room available to a poor, homesick sailor on his first liberty on the town.  finally, I found a room in a boarding house.  I don't recall any of the amenities, the cost nor anything about it.  My main objective upon depositing my gear was to telephone home to let them know where I was and what I was doing.

 

All telephone lines were busy.  This was before direct dialing and one had to go through the operator.  She would connect you with Charlotte, then Atlanta and finally, Birmingham.  Sometimes you might get to Charlotte or Atlanta.  At times you would get an immediate response 'all circuits are busy.' So you would try, try again.  This contest might go on for hours, which on this Christmas Eve it did.  I was never able to get through that night nor the next day." Bishop Holliman, 1991 Memoirs

Immediately after the attack on Hawaii, Japanese forces launched a Pacific-wide offensive of land, sea and air.  Hong Kong, Singapore, Guam and Wake Island were quickly conquered and subdued.  Only in the Philippines, then a colony of the United States, did the combined forces of the U.S. and the Philippine Army hold off for four months the invasion of Japanese divisions.  General Douglas MacArthur, commanding joint colonial and regular U.S. Army troops, stalled the Japanese on the peninsula. of Bataan, north west of the capitol of Manila.

Above, the General of the Army, George C. Marshall, the right man at the right place during the War, reached out and called to Washington, D.C. a former administrative aide to MacArthur, one newly minted one-star General Dwight David Eisenhower.  Eisenhower's job that December was to devise a way to get supplies to the Philippines to keep MacArthur's forces fighting.  With the Japanese Navy and Air Forces in charge of the South Pacific and with much of the U.S. battle fleet at the bottom in Pearl Harbor, the task was impossible.

Below, one star General Dwight D. Eisenhower, pictured as World War II began.

But Eisenhower's work ethic, management skills, organizational talents and cooperative, but firm attitude, caught Marshall's eye.  The War would see much of General Eisenhower.

Next, more on that Christmas of 1941 for an Alabama family....

How a World War changed an Alabama Family, Part 7

by Glenn N. Holliman

World War II engulfs America and an Alabama Family!

The day still lives in 'infamy', 7 December 1941.  Suddenly, without warning, hundreds of Japanese war planes swarmed over Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and the giant U.S. Navy base.  Almost three thousand American service men and women died that day and numerous ships went to the bottom or were damaged for years.  Fortunately the U.S. aircraft carriers were at sea and escaped the holocaust.  The U.S.A. and the Holliman family of Irondale, Alabama were now, fully, at war.

"On Sunday, December 7, 1941 at about 2 pm, I was standing watch in the barracks in the Norfolk, Virginia Navy Training Station when my relief told me he had heard that the 'Japs' had bombed Pearl Harbor.  Up to that time, not many of us had heard of Pearl Harbor, most thinking she was a female in one of the dives in Norfolk!  Upon receiving word we were at war I felt that at last there was some purpose in having to serve two years or more in the Navy, that finally there was a reason for my being where I was and that my experience would not be completely futile." Bishop Holliman, Memoirs 1991

Below, a training field during World War II at the Norfolk, Virginia Naval Station

 

A few days after Pearl Harbor, Loudelle Holliman Ferrell, the 28 year old wife of The Rev. Charles T. Ferrell, expressed her feelings on the national emergency in a letter.  She holds her third child, John Melton Ferrell, in 1943.

 

 "It was such a shock and such a treacherous act.  I hate war, the thought of it tears me up...what the future holds, nobody knows....I feel sorry for my unborn child (John Melton Ferrell, b. 1942) coming into such a world.  I am trying to remain calm and control myself.  Even thought the world has gone mad and the lights have gone out all over the world, there is one light will never go out...keep your faith and don't lose your grip on God."  

 

Below in 1943 during World War II, Patti Holliman Hairston, daughter of Melton and Ida Holliman, and her cousin, John Melton Ferrell, play in Jacksonville, Alabama where John's father was the United Methodist Church pastor.  Patti's father, Melton, would be inducted into the U.S. Army in August 1943 as the War continued to reach out and engulf the Holliman family.

 

Below in 2012 at the Orange Beach, Florida reunion at the home of Al and Linda Herrin Bradley, the same two cousins looking trim and incredibly youthful, John and Patti, almost 70 years later. 

 

Blessedly, the worst fears of Loudelle Ferrell concerning World War II were not realized for America, but as we all know, the human race continues to produce conflict and challenges.

A Holliman Joins the U.S. Navy....

Autumn 1941

Below, German infantry in the Soviet Union, 1941

By November 1941, the Soviet armies and cold weather finally slowed the mighty German army in front of Leningrad and Moscow. Casualties were monumental on both sides. By late autumn, Germany, which already occupied with Italy most of Europe, had driven deep into Russia.



In North Africa, the German and Italian Armies threatened the British protectorate of Egypt and the Suez Canal, the life line to the British Empire in Asia.

In the Pacific, a Japanese fleet of aircraft carriers prepared to sail as relations between the Emperor's military government and the Roosevelt administration neared a breaking point.  In late November, based on decoded radio intercepts, the War Department issued a 'war warning' to U.S. forces in the Pacific. For the United States, events were moving to a tragic climax.

Rather than take the Army draft, Bishop Holliman of Irondale, Alabama, a student at Birmingham-Southern College, decided to join the U.S. Navy. November 13, 1941, his parents, Ulyss and Pearl, brother Ralph and brother-in-law Robert Daly, Vena Hollman Daly and Mary Daly saw him climb aboard the Seaboard in Birmingham and take the train to Norfolk. Bishop's war began at the Naval Training Station in southeast Virginia.  Below, the young Bishop Holliman as a Navy trainee as the nation approached Pearl Harbor.

 

Brother-in-law, Robert W. Daly, Sr., ever the humorist, wrote in his first letter to Bishop, a devout Methodist, at boot camp on November 15, 1941, these words 'quoting' Ulyss S. Holliman, Bishop's father, who accompanied him to the train station.

For Bishop's sister, Virginia, who graduated with honors from Shades Cahaba High School the year before, her romance with fellow class mate, Walter Cornelius, was deepening.  Below Virginia's attractive photograph from her yearbook and the list of achievements.  These leadership positions foreshadowed the successful career she would have in the Alabama banking business from the 1950s to the late 1980s.

 

Above right, young Walter Cornelius, business manager of the Shades Cahaba High School annual in 1940, would serve in World War II and go on to a successful career as an attorney in Birmingham, Alabama.  He and Virginia, his high school sweet heart, would marry in February 1942.  The couple would have two children, Carol and Susan.  Their marriage was ill fated; it was one of two Holliman marriages created during World War II that would end in divorce decades later.

 

Next, with one son in the military, Pearl Harbor and war would blast their way into the lives of an Alabama family.....

Summer 1941

22 June 1941, full of hubris and more than mildly insane, Adolph Hitler launched his war machine east against the Soviet Union.  Earlier that spring, his Wehrmacht had swallowed the Balkans, Greece and Crete and joined the Italians in North Africa.  German foreign minister Von Ribbentrop wrapped Nazi arms around Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania and Finland.  Britain, supported by her dominions Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, stood on the continental fringes of Europe facing foes Italy and Germany. 

German Panzer IIIs invaded Russian in what most of the world thought would be an easy conquest.  It was not to be.
n Panzer III tanks close to a border battle near Brest-Litovsk on June 22

Mad with ambition, a loathing of communism, racial and religious hatred and swollen with excessive confidence in his armies, Hitler hurled over 3 million men against another sadist dictator, Joseph Stalin, the communist autocrat of the largest geographical nation on the planet.  The battle of two titans commenced, and the world held its breath.

In the United States the World War would soon reach out and engulf an Alabama family....
 
The year before, 1940, Walter Cornelius, second row, far left in coat and tie, graduated from Shades Cahaba High School in Homewood, Alabama.  His future brother-in-law, Ralph Holliman, Class of 1942, sat near him in the middle of this group picture in the white and black shirt with the collar.  In early February 1942, Walter married Virginia Holliman, also Class of 1940.  Both Walter and Ralph would serve in the U.S. Army during the war - Walter in Saipan and Ralph in France.

From the memoirs of Bishop Holliman of Irondale, Alabama - "In the summer of 1941, I went back to Lake Junaluska, attended the Methodist Youth Conference at Montevallo College (and was elected president and interesting to note, my opponent was Howell Heflin, later U.S. Senator from Alabama) and worked intermittently at Hill's Grocery in Irondale, Alabama.  I am afraid I did not dwell a great deal on the prospects of the U. S. entering the war even that terrible summer in Europe."

Below Bishop Holliman 'concentrating' on his religious duties at  the Methodist Conference Center of Lake Junaluska, North Carolina in 1941.

In August 1941, a letter from his draft board sent Bishop scurrying back from a vacation in Florida with the Daly and Ferrell families. Checking in, Bishop was told he would be called in the fall.  Not anxious to join the U.S. Army, Bishop enlisted in the U.S. Navy, ready to go at a later date.

In the meantime, a girl friend, Gloria Zackey, who was a secretary  for Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Company on 1st Avenue in Birmingham, recommended him for a temporary job, filing in chronological order cancelled checks.  "I was paid 75 cents an hour and thought a $26 a week pay check was pretty good."

Above, ten year old Mary Daly (Herrin) in a bathing cap suits typical of the period holds hands at Daytona Beach, Florida, August 1941 with her cousins Carolyn (Tatum) and Charles Halford Ferrell. The war would soon bring such vacations to a screening halt for most Americans.  Vena Holliman Daly and Loudelle Holliman Ferrell were Bishop, Virginia, Euhal and Ralph Holliman's sisters.

That same August, President Franklin D. Roosevelt rendezvoused in Newfoundland by ship with Prime Minister Winston S. Churchill of the United Kingdom.  Their military leaders met, and from the meetings at sea, was issued the Atlantic Charter, a just vision of a post-war world, declared boldly before the U.S. was formally in the war. Below, Roosevelt, Churchill and their staffs on the deck of the HMS Prince of Wales.

And again that summer of 1941, generally not noticed by many Americans, the State Department, utterly disgusted with Japan's continued war and invasion of China, initiated an embargo of the selling of U. S. petroleum to Japan.  For the militaristic government of Japan without oil, the clock began to tick rapidly toward a decision either to seize supplies in the Dutch East Indies or acquiesce to U.S. demands to cease their four year invasion of China. 

The government of new Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, a Japanese army general, refused to consider a withdrawal from China, and began plans to confront the U.S. militarily. Japan would decide to secure by violence the resources needed to maintain their military and civilian economy.  Time was running out in the Pacific, while most U.S. eyes were focused on the North Atlantic and Europe.  Below the Prime Minister of Japan who authorized the attack on Pearl Harbor.

"For ten years, Japan had been front page news, but I was not cognizant of how big a threat she was and I know that in the summer of 1941, I did not view that country as an enemy we would soon fight.  I guess all our attention was on Europe and I simply did not foresee future conflict with the 'Rising Sun'.  In later years I wondered how I could have been so uninformed - or ignorant - about what was happening in the Pacific." - Bishop Holliman

How a World War changed an Alabama Family, Part 4

by Glenn N. Holliman

 1940...the Storm Grows....

At this time in his life two decades after the Great War, Bishop Holliman was, as were millions of other Americans, an isolationist, one who wanted no involvement in European conflicts.  This opinion was shared by many during the late 1930s and early 1940s. 

However, by summer 1940 Czechoslovakia, Poland, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway and Denmark had fallen before the Nazi war machine.  These frightening events  moved more and more Americans to support rearmament and aid to England.  Great Britain stood alone against increasing fears of a world dominated by an aggressive government of Germany, a militant Japan and a Mediterranean bully, Benito Mussolini's Italy. Collectively, these were the Axis powers of World War II.  Below the two dictators who lost their lives in 1945 in the conflagration they initiated.

 

Ulyss and Pearl Holliman  of Irondale, Alabama were devout Christians, and had raised their family as Methodists.  Their second daughter, Loudelle, married a Methodist minister in 1935, Charles T. Ferrell, born in Mississippi, and educated at Birmingham-Southern College and Yale Divinity School.  Loudelle and Charles helped Bishop obtain a part time job as youth director with the North Alabama Methodist Conference in the late 1930s.  This work - several summer youth conferences and his own deep commitment to the Christian faith - are evident in Bishop's pacifistic and humane opinions captured in memoirs written in 1991:

"And so it was as the clouds of war loomed ever more ominous on the horizon that I was a student at Birmingham-Southern College, having entered in 1937.  During those years I was very active in youth activities in the Methodist Church, and a principle focus in those times was 'world peace'.  At all of our youth conferences, programs, and camps, ironically one of the courses would be labeled, with some variations, 'World Peace."- H. Bishop Holliman, 1991
  

 

 Above, Christmas 1940, young Charles Halford Ferrell tries out his new Greyhound wagon for his parents, The Rev. Charles and Loudelle Holliman Ferrell.  Loudelle and Charles would write faithfully to her siblings, while Charles pastored Methodist Churches in North Alabama during the war.

 

Bishop along with two brothers, Melton and Ralph and a brother-in-law, Walter Cornelius, were soon to be swept into the growing maelstrom.  War would come to this Alabama family.  Melton (1908-1958) is pictured below with his mother, Pearl Caine Holliman (1887-1955) in the late 1930s in front of the Robert and Vena Daly, Sr. home in the 2300 3rd Avenue North of Irondale, Alabama.  Not a young man, Melton served in the U.S. Army in England, France and Mississippi during 1944 and 1945.  While overseas, his health broke. He died of a heart attack 13 years after the war at the age of only 49.

With the fall of World War I ally France in June 1940, the U.S. Congress passed a conscription act to begin the building of an American army which at that time was one of the smallest in the world.  Later that year, President Franklin D. Roosevelt asked Congress to pass the Lend-Lease bill that gave assistance to Great Britain, aid short of war. 

At the same time, relations between Japan and the U.S. continued to deteriorate.  Japan pursued its war in China, and cast covetous eyes on the Dutch, British and French colonies in southeast Asia.

No matter how isolated the U.S. was in the Western Hemisphere, the world had become a dangerous place.  Led by FDR, Congress began to appropriate massive funds for naval, air and army armament.  However, 'isolationism', remained strong - many Americans did not wish to see the United States once again involved in a European war.

"Remember, we were still living in the shadows of the First World War, and the death and destruction wrought by that conflict were being brought out into the open, and we were able to look back and view the catastrophic horror.  Also, we were learning how the profit motive entered into whether we should go to war, and we were taught that greedy munitions manufacturers profited from the deaths of countless millions.

In the late 1930s and early 40s, I struggled to stay in college and worked part time at the Methodist Youth headquarters at 516 N. 22nd Street in Birmingham.  I was making maybe 25 or 30 cents and hour to fold letters, run the mimeograph machine and do other such menial chores  The job had been designed to aid a ministerial student.  I had been given the job my second year in college by Charles Ferrell, my brother-in-law.

He was Conference Youth Director, so through his beneficence I was able to make a little spending money and stay in school.  My association with the ministers in and out of the office and my participation in conference youth programs strengthened my faith in the 'rightness' of peace and the evils of militarism and war." - H. Bishop Holliman, 1991.

Bishop Holliman, left, sometimes had his mind on items other than religion while attending Methodist youth conferences in Alabama and North Carolina in the early 1940s.  Note the cute blond on the far left.  Dad is in a coat and tie, and oh, those white shoes and pants.

 

Next the War moves closer to this Alabama family....

How a World War changed an Alabama Family, Part 3

by Glenn N. Holliman

A Humorous Letter that captures the Mood of a Divided America....

"I felt we would not enter World War II.  We had learned our lesson, I thought, from the last war.  Surely we would get burned again. So I went merrily on my way, doing my thing, and not worrying very much about the ultimate consequences of what was happening in Europe." - H. Bishop Holliman, 1991, a Navy veteran of World War II

Spurred on by lively conversations with brother-in-law Robert W. Daly, Homer Bishop Holliman, born the year of the infamous 1919 Versailles Treaty, a Birmingham-Southern College student, typed the following tongue-in-cheek letter to himself.  While meant to be humorous, nineteen year old Bishop, captured the ambiguous feelings of many Americans in the autumn of 1939 as Europe once again plunged itself into an abbess.

Notice in the letter, he refers to the divisive issues of the embargo and neutrality which divided the U.S. Congress.  Only with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor at the end of 1941 did American public opinion coalesce, and Congress overwhelmingly vote war. 

Above Bishop Holliman, right, with his Methodist pastor friend, The Rev. Paul Nelson Propst in 1940 at a Lake Junaluska, North Carolina religious retreat.   Note the formal wear. Bishop would give Paul's middle name to his son, Glenn Nelson Holliman, in 1946. 

Bishop had been raised in the Irondale, Alabama Methodist Church.  Thanks to his sister Loudelle's husband, The Rev. Charles Tigert Ferrell, he would work several years as youth  coordinator for the North Alabama Conference of the Methodist Church.  This position allowed him to help pay his tuition at Birmingham-Southern College, a Methodist school, from 1937 to 1941.

Below, Bishop's 1939 letter to himself captures his religious and isolationist beliefs as World War II began in Europe.  On September 1, 1939, Germany invaded Poland and reluctantly France and Great Britain declared war on expansionist Germany.

In the late 1930s and early 1940s, thanks to the automobile and paved roads, Bishop and millions of Americans were able to travel and see the United States as previous generations had not been able to do.  Below, inn this 1939 photo Charles Pugh (far left) of Irondale and close friend of Bishop's stand with The Rev. Stewart Butten (far right), having just returned from a Methodist retreat in Knoxville, Tennessee.

 Notice the street at 2300 3rd Avenue, North, Irondale, Alabama is unpaved.  Third Avenue would be paved, ironically, during World War II.  The Ulyss Holliman home is in the background.  The automobile has a running board.  And what natty dressers just returning from a trip, still in white shirts, ties and oh, those white shoes!  A month or so later, Bishop would write the above letter to himself.
