Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That is a really great ww1 era USPHS uniform. Is it named? If it is you can find a list of all the officers during that time and possibly find out what their assignments were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvage Sailor Posted January 10, 2021 Share #88 Posted January 10, 2021 1 hour ago, beerdragon54 said: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Very nice, And Joe's Grill too! You've got the whole commissioned service of this Tacoma class Patrol Frigate (Gunboat), USS PEORIA (PF-67) on this seabag belonging to one of her US Coast Guard crewmen. Many of these PF's were manned by USCG crews for Atlantic convoy escort duty. After VE Day, PEORIA was converted to a weather ship to help North Atlantic convoys in their crossings. From the Dictionary of American Fighting Ships (PF-67: dp. 1,246; 1. 303'11''; b. 37'6''; dr. 13'8''; s. 20 k.; cpl. 190; a. 2 3'', 4 40mm, 6 20mm, 8 dep., 1 dcp. (hh.), 2 dct.; cl. Tacoma; T. S2-S2-AQ1) The third Peoria (PF-67), originally ordered as a gunboat (PG-175) hut redesignated a frigate in April 1943, was laid down by the Leathem D. Smith Shipbuilding Co., Sturgeon Bay, Wisc. 25 May 1943; launched 2 October 1943; sponsored by Mrs. Agnes Reynolds ; and commissioned at Houston, Tex. 2 January 1945, Comdr. George R. Leslie, USCG, in command. Peoria got underway 12 January 1945 for shakedown off Bermuda, returning to Norfolk before sailing 4 March with a convoy for Gibraltar. She then proceeded to Mers-el-Kebir, Algeria, 19 March, On the 27th she joined a returning convoy from Oran, escorting it to the United States. After a brief period at New York, Peoria steamed to Casco Bay, Me. for antisubmarine training. This completed, she departed Casco Bay 7 May for New London, Conn. As Peoria arrived at New London the following day, 5 May 1945, the war in Europe came to an end. For the next two weeks, the frigate assisted in training submarine crews at New London. Peoria departed New London 21 May for Charleston, S.C., where she was fitted out for Atlantic weather patrol duty. On 21 June she began a year of weather station work, alternating periods on station in the North Atlantic with visits to ports from Bermuda to Iceland. Peoria decommissioned 15 May 1946. Her name was struck from the Navy List 19 June 1946, and she was turned over to the Foreign Liquidation Commission of the State Department. On 16 June 1947 the former Peoria was transferred to the Cuban Navy Photo from navsource.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk . Hi Beerdragon, Well done with your thread and the interesting pieces you have shown. The WWII Chem suits are rare, I managed to get two unissued examples many years ago, I photographed the label and attached here for you. Over the years I think I have only managed to find about three images of the suits being worn. . . . regards lewis. ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandfather used a WWII chem suit when spraying our apple trees with insecticide. Even though I was into militaria from a fairly young age I wasn’t sad when it was thrown away. Something about the suits texture and knowing how it was used made me not want to touch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akron is about 2 hours form us, and home to the most fabulous historic home you could want to tour - Stan Hywet Hall (That's pronounced Hee-Wit). I'll look her up, if you like!
