All I am looking for info on: S 1/C Richard Sewell, USNR
Does anyone have any info on him? I believe he was in an early Squadron in Jan-Oct 1943, a photo group is currently on e-bay with a SCR-517 two tube 80' Elco.
take care

Ted:

Allen Richard Sewell was original Div 17 member on PT 122 until she broke her keel and then was assigned to PT 113 until she put a prop through her lazarette. Both boats then went to Cairns for repairs and Sewell went as part of skeleton crew. I have a few photos in my Div 17 and T.G. 50.1 manuscript. Also, a nice write-up and photo in Knights of the Sea.
