My brother John D. Lynch was aboard the tanker "Alagash", during world War 2. John was one of 12 children. In fact he was the 5th child born to my parents. I was born in 1938 and was number 10. I was wondering how I could get a picture of his ship. My brother died in January, 1960. I was in the Army at that time
