Folks have been sending in pictures of their loved ones (dads, mostly) who served aboard the Boston during the war. The folder (which I named – cleverly enough – “submitted pics”) has been sitting on my desktop gathering cyber dust for a while now, so it’s time to share them.
Armand enlisted in Portland, ME and was a CA-69 Plankowner – received aboard the ship on Commissioning Day (6-30-43). He left the ship on December 26, 1945, heading back to the States after serving “Occupation Duty” off the coast of Honshu.
Armand’s daughter, Claudia Errington, sent in this terrific pic of her mom and dad.
