Allan William Richard, serial number 209-23-73, seaman 1/c, was a part of the Armed Guard unit aboard SS MINNESOTAN upon its arrival in San Francisco on July 9, 1945, having sailed from Guam, stopping also in Pearl Harbor en route.
Presumably there were other ships and/or other voyages as well, but this is the only record for Allan Richard that I could find on Ancestry.com.
His wife should be able to obtain Allan's complete service record by contacting the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis, Missouri. See this page, http://armed-guard.com/searchmil.html, and follow the instructions at section A.1. Records of Individuals - U.S. Military. His service record should indicate his other shipboard and shore-side assignments.
Good luck.
