Summary
[edit]DescriptionUSS Leopold (DE-319) survivors in a hospital in the British Isles, circa in April 1944 (USCG 2192).jpg |
English: U.S. Coast Guard sailors who survived the sinking of the Coast Guard-manned destroyer escort USS Leopold (DE-319). Leopold was torpedoed and sunk by the German submarine U-255 south of Iceland on 9 March 1944. 28 survivors were rescued, 171 others were lost. Original caption: "These seven Coast Guardsmen, shown in a hospital somewhere in the British Isles, survived the sinking of the Coast Guard Destroyer Escort Leopold by a German submarine somewhere in the North Atlantic. Only 28 out of a complement of 200 escaped death in the loss of the vessel - one of the worst sea tragedies of the war. Here, Richard R. Novotny, S1c, of Riverside, Long Island, who suffered a back injury, is visited by six of his buddies, all of them survivors. The others are (standing, left to right) Cleveland E. Parker, Chief Commissary Steward, of Pulaski, Tenn.; W. G. O'Brien, S1c, of New York City, N.Y.; Antone Freitas, Jr., S2c, of Fall River, Mass.; Joseph A. Burgun, Soundman 3c, of Glen Rock, N.J.; (seated) Troy S. Gowens, S1c, of Brooklyn, N.Y.; and Joseph M. Hanysz, S1c, of Detroit, Mich." |
