News stories in the Lowell (Mass) Sun newspaper list him only as Lipp but use the names Benjamin and Benedict in two different stories about his loss. The Town of Wilmington resident list for the year 1939 lists his occupation as "Seaman" which goes with your assumption that he had previous experience to attain the AB rating. I was able to locate on ancestry.com a draft registration card with the name Benjamin Lipp with his address of North Wilmington and DOB of 7/6/1915 in Plymouth,PA. It also list as a contact Claire Miron as his fiancee. To add to it I've seen a casualty listing of his under the Lipskas name that lists a Claire Lipskas as his spouse both of North Wilmington. Also a marriage record also from from Massachusetts lists a Lipskas, Claire (Miron) <<
