AWESOME GROUP Kurt, I'm really glad that it ultimately ended up with someone such as yourself. I've never been lucky enough to run across an Officer's PT Boat Group, they are indeed uncommon. Someday, if I can manage to dig it out I'll see if I can post some photos of my PT Boat Group. It's nothing really special, just some personal stuff, a few Japanese items, his Campaign Medals, & his beautiful WW2 Cracker Jack uniform, the style with all the personal embroidery inside the jumper. My guy served aboard PT 151 [ RON 12 ] from February 1944 to January 1945. His 151 Boat got shot up pretty good during the Surigao Strait action, on 25 October 1944. He was an MM1c, Motor Mac 1st Class, from Leominster, Massachusetts. THANKS for taking the time to shown us your beautiful group !

 

Best, Dom P. / dpast32
