  Help on WW-2 Port Repair Ships - Any and all info appreciated!
Posted by: Sue - 12-13-2013, 11:48 AM - Forum: LOOKING FOR... - Replies (2)


Hi everyone,

 

My father was a member of the 1072nd Engineer Port Repair Ship Team aboard the Robert M. Emery. While doing some research into his background during the war, I became inetersted in these vessels and what they did during that time period.

 

10 ships were specially constructed, with only 5 seeing action in the ETO (and perhaps elsewhere?).

 

If you have any information concerning these ships, their crews, where they went etc. please either post a message here or contact me .

 

I have the crew list for the Robert M. Emery (1072nd Engineer Port Repair Ship Team)

and the

Junior N. Van Noy (1071st Engineer Port Repair Ship Team) if anyone is interested

 

Thanks

  Farewell David Henry Lynn - 11th Armored Division
Posted by: Walt's Daughter - 12-12-2013, 09:32 AM - Forum: Announcements, Get Well Wishes & Farewells - Replies (1)


I'd like to pay my respects and give my condolences to my friend, Jim Lynn, on the loss of his father, David Henry Lynn. I had the pleasure of meeting Jim's dad at one of the local 101st Airborne meetings in Farmington Hills, and he was a great man, with a wonderful sense of humor. I enjoyed getting to know him, albeit, for such a short while.
