Going through some of my late Mom’s photos and found two of my Dad from 1943. Can’t quite make out who the photographer was - looks like “Forsy”, but probably incorrect.
Dad served as a Gunner's Mate on DE(s) during WWII. He received a Purple Heart when on 20 December 1944 the USS Fogg (DE 57) was torpedoed by a German U-870 Sub near the Azores Islands.
