[StartQuote] Will; Since you opened a new post I will copy my info for CAPT. Allen's son here. I was getting buried in the other thread, PT 120: the info I have shows that Bob Allen was skipper of PT 120 during Borneo operation(May 211945). June 2/3 mission up Kretam River. June 9 with PT 149 went in to shoot up Sandakan Harbor. June 13 with PT 318 landed guerrillas on Semporna. On Aug 23/24 1945 mentions dropping off guerrillas on Borneo for intel gathering mission, maybe Alamo Scouts, it only mentions "SRD Representatives"(Special Reconnaissance Detachment). , on Aug 29/30 another mission, and after pick up they dropped SRD off on USS Pokomoke. On Sept1-4 RON 8 moved back to Malamuai Island, Zamboanga( PT Advanced base 3), On Sep 19 they moved to Base 17 Samar. Oct. 25 All boats I RON 8(11) were burned, Oct 28 Decomm. ACQ's mentions in appendix D, that he was wounded. That would be nice if Bill Skade's other photos has a photo of him. Take care, TED [image]http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p249/ptboats/Ted%20Walther/PT%20120%201944.jpg[/image] PT 120 RON 8 crew 1944. Is that Ensign Bob Allen on the left?
