My dad, Herman Melton was third engineer on the Saugrain when it was torpedoed 12/5/44. As a USMMA cadet, he also was on Convoy JW52 and JW53A to Murmansk and back. Now 91, he is compiling stories of those journeys. I have located some 10 veterans or their children who were on board the Saugrain. Any other contacts would be much appreciated. Other units on board: 2773rd Engineers; 237th AAA Searchlight battalion. will.melton@mac.com
