[StartQuote] Hello all I'm new to this forum, and I'm researching (for my own personal curiosity) my father's wartime service. His name was Ralph W. Gretter, and he was a QM2c on PT 504 in the English channel, then finished out the war with Ron 24. I think I've found pretty much everything I can on the internet, as well as requesting his records from NARA. I still have lots of questions, but I'll limit myself to two today: 1) After operations in the channel were over, my father was sent to the Pacific and Ron 24. Before he arrived there, however, his records show him spending 4 months assigned to ComMTBRons 7th Fleet, FURAS. Any idea what this duty might have consisted of? Also, what does FURAS stand for? 2) Several accounts I have read refer to Commander Bulkeley as being an avid photographer and recording some of the actions he was involved in. Does anyone know if these photos still exist? Thanks in advance for any info you can offer. Keith Gretter P.S. Of course any info on Ron 34, PT 504, late-war Ron 24, or my father in particular would be welcome![EndQuote]
