AAlvarado90 Posted October 7, 2021 Share #1 Posted October 7, 2021 Hello im pretty sure this is a long shot but I’m looking for anything related to Ancelmo Martinez, Naval amphibious forces on the USS Cottle during ww2. Not really sure what’s out there as no one really knows what became of his stuff. if anyone even has photos of service members on the Cottle thatd be great as well. Not asking to purchase them but a view of the photos will be great. also, anyway of finding BootCamp musters from the war? If they even are available. I know Ancelmo enlisted June 16th of 44 but not sure of when he would have completed bootcamp. thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29navy Posted October 8, 2021 Share #2 Posted October 8, 2021 He arrived on the Cottle (APA-147) on 14 December 1944 day of commissioning. Stayed through October 30, 1945 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29navy Posted October 8, 2021 Share #3 Posted October 8, 2021 You can manually search through boot camp musters, but it would make it easier if you had an idea of which one he went to. Not much on the Cottle out there but here's a link with a couple of pictures: https://www.navsource.org/archives/10/03/03147.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are the musters for bootcamp located? Only thing I have is Fold3 at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shore stations are not indexed and you can't search on them. You have to manually search. So it is a bit time consuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if I can convince the wife on a month of ancestry lol thank you! If I come up with anything, I’ll post it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
