Dear Mr Roberts:

I don't seem to be able to post my late father's name for the destroyer USS Macdonough DD 351 (Farragut Class) on which he served from mid-1944 to decommissioning. My father was William H Talbott. Can you help?

Also attached are some photos he had in an old photo album and I thought you might like a copy. Some of them are photos of gun crews and such. I also have some of individual crew members with first or last names (not both).

Let me know if you have any questions or would be interested in additional pictures.

Thank you,
Andrew Talbott
