[StartQuote] OK, got most of his history: John Donald DeFontes Enlisted 4-14-1944 On USS General Harry H Taylor (APA-145) June 1944 for transport. Arrived ComServ7thFlt (RB EDUR) on ?? Transferred to Naval Supply Depot Milne Bay (167) on July 17, 1944 as Seaman 2nd Changed rate to Seaman 1st on Sept 1, 1944 Changed rate to Coxswain on July 1 1, 1945 Transferred to Navy Base Milne Bay (717) on Aug 2, 1945. Transferred to Caretaker Unit, Milne Bay on Nov 3, 1945 Transferred back to Navy Base 717 on Nov 11, 1945 Changed Rate from COX (T) to BM2(T) on Jan 1, 1946 (T stands for Temporary) Transferred to PSC Bainbridge, MD on Feb 6, 1946 for discharge. So it doesn't look like he was in PT boats. He may have been on some boat in support of the Supply Depot but not one big enough to require a separate muster report of administration. I think the 617 on his discharge is a typo and should be 167 for the supply depot at Milne Bay. Charlie[EndQuote]
