My Father in Law Jack Bayles, S1, served on the 0495 - SS John Rutledge 1943-45 as one of the 14 members of the USN Gun Crew (Armed Guard)assigned to operate the armaments carried by liberty ships in the pacific during the war. If anyone is interested, I have a photo and list of names of all 14 members of the gun crew taken in Cairo, Egypt January 13, 1943.
