My father-in-law, Arthur Pesoli, is 95 y.o.a. and still quite healthy. He served as a GM3 in the Armed Guard in 1944 making the Murmansk run. He took Navy Boot and Gunners training in Sampson, NY. He's very proud of his service and wishes his fellow Armed Guard sailors "FAIR WINDS AND FOLLOWING SEAS".

THANKS David for posting up regarding your father-in-law. Please pass on my well wishes and gratitude for his service.

I trust your father-in-law knows about the AG Vet association and is a member. https://www.armed-guard.com/association.html

If your father-in-law has photos of his days in the NAG and would like to share them to the WW2 Navy Armed Guard FaceBook page we would all love to see them. https://www.facebook.com/groups/715188522376466

Regards, Craig
