Does anybody have access to look his name up in a "Knights of the Sea" book? They listed all known PT Boaters at the time of publication. I am not near my copy at this moment and want to ensure we are looking for the entire and complete name. Could you repeat the correct name we are looking for? I think it is Earl A. Merryman CRM (Chief Radioman) but want to be sure. Thanks Jerry

Earl Allison Merryman CRM arrived at MTB Base 7 on Feb 19, 1943 (in Samoa). Left MTB Base 7 on July 30, 1944. On November 23, 1944, he arrived on the USS Alfred A Cunningham (DD-752) and left DD0752 on Feb 8, 1945 to NOB Norfolk.

Ted, you have an amazing amount of info at your fingertips. I appreciate you sharing any and all of it. I will keep digging too see what else may be stashed among other photos.
Thanks, Dennis

He is not listed in our list of PT Boaters nor in Knights of the Sea.
I think the MTB Base 7 in Samoa is the best we can do.

You guys are fantastic. So I guess he was not actually on a PT boat. His arrival and departure window would match the typed letter date Aug. 4, 1943. Thanks, Dennis
