Description: Vintage photo from WWII 1944-5 US Navy Sailor's Admiralty Islands collection many from when at PT Boat Base 21, Mios Woendi, Biak. This is from a large loose photo collection which were never mounted in an album with nothing written on backs except 1 lone photo with Lt Gallup. So I can't tell if he was a Seabee with the 55th USNCB, with the PBY rescue airplane crews or if he was on a PT boat crew. More research needed but my guess he was with the PBY Rescue crew due to the high number of small snapshots from a PBY aircraft there was a photo of the Seabees 55th BN post office sign so here is info on 55th from the web:On April 28, 1944 the 55th left Brisbane and arrived at Hollandia, Dutch New Guinea, June 1. From Hollandia, the Battalion switched to Mios Woendi Island and operated there for the rest of 1944. Co. C, from Sept. 25 to Dec. 31, was located at Hollandia. On New Year’s Day, 1945, the 55th sailed from Mios Woendi for the U. S., arriving at Camp Parks Jan. 21. The unit was inactivated in March. SEE Size in condition box above..
