Dad ~~ United States Naval Training Center ~~ Basic Engineering Graduating Class ~~ January 5, 1945 ~~ Gulfport, Mississippi
This photo is a rolled scroll which is four feet wide when unscrolled and has been rolled since 1945 which rendered it hard to keep open and on the scanner!! I had to scan it in sections and there are a few men missing that would have been on each end of the middle photo. Sorry fellas but it was too hard to manipulate the photo!
Dad is in the top photo, front row, second from left!
