My dad was on PT 331 and his name is Joe Pearce. He is now 88 years old. I am his son and I was wondering if there is onyone who might remember him.I also wonder if there are any pictures of 331 and her crew. Thanks

Hi Joey,
Welcome to the board. I found this photo that was taken in Leyte Gulf on the day of the landings. The ships in the background are under air attack. This photo was in the Book "At Close Quarters" I think these PT Boats went to assist the ships that were hit during the attack. Jerry

Greetings Joey, good luck with your research. I had these, sorry but I can't figure out where they came from or I'd post the source:

Hi Joey, Hope these help.
I received these photos from the late Walter Keuhn's widow who has herself passed away. They lived in West Allis, Wisconsin. Walter was a MoMM 2/c on the PT-331. Hope your father could ID some of these individuals. Would be interested in learning who they are.
Respectfully,
