My USNAG -Veterans of WWII-ID 20777-per Charles A Lloyd-confirms the honor of being accepted as a member in good standing for several years. Fresh out of Inf OCS, Ft Benning, My first assignment on the SS Elihu Yale as CSO/Tnspt Cmndr from Jul 43 to Nov 43 ended in Naples Italy, we were sent back to CONUS for shipyard repairs, arriving in NY on thanksgiving 27 Nov 43. I went to Philly for R&R, Elihu Yale returned to the Naples area and in Jan 44 was hit with a rocket, and destroyed. I don't suppose there are any CSO's still around from the Brooklyn Army Base.
