Jeff;
Yes the jack of all trades was there too. At the time he was CO of USS Edicott (DD495) during Operation Dragoon.
Lieutenant Commander Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., USNR, Commander of the Special Operations Group's Eastern Diversionary Unit, Captain Henry C. Johnson, Commander Special Operations Group (CTG 80.4) and Commander John D. Bulkeley, USN, Commanding Officer of USS Endicott (DD-495) (listed from left to right) On USS Endicott's bridge during the Southern France Operation, August 1944. This may have been taken after the 17 August engagement that sank the German (formerly Italian) corvette Capriola and the armed yacht Nimet Allah. Courtesy of Rear Admiral John D. Bulkeley, USN.
