GIl Sanow Posted September 29, 2008 Share #5 Posted September 29, 2008 Robb, Check your old issues of FOOTLOCKER -- we used to have a member in TN, a minister, I believe, who would research submariner names. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usmcraidergirl Posted September 30, 2008 Share #10 Posted September 30, 2008 What is the last name on the uniform? Is it OLSEN? Or maybe it is a B something??? If you could post it here, we may be able to help out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecolonelscache Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share #11 Posted September 30, 2008 What is the last name on the uniform? Is it OLSEN? Or maybe it is a B something??? If you could post it here, we may be able to help out. His full name is Roy S. Bloss. I think he was an author after the war. Wrote a book on the Pony Express. Lived out here in No. Cal. Any help would be appreciated. -Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
