This is my father’s brother. Curious why this is on the Davis/Williams family tree blog? How related?????
@Catherine L. Adams (Garvey) Thank you for visiting my blog! Edmund served with my grandfather on USS LCI(L)-11 during World War II. While researching my grandfather’s military service, I became interested in the lives of the men he served with. I have sent you an email with more details. Thanks again!
