Comments: Retired military researcher seeks survivors, dependents, unpublished memoirs and published material re collision between USS Benevolence and freighter S.S. Mary Luckenbach in heavy fog on 25 Aug. 1950 at the Golden Gate off Point Bonita resulting in deaths of 23 aboard the hospital ship, including 10 male naval personnel, one member of the U.S. Navy Nurse Corps and 12 U.S. Civil Service employees. Was a memorial service conducted? Does an installed memorial exist? anywhere?

USO Camp Shows Artist |

Judy Banks wrote on 2001-04-22 20:58:36.0
Comments: Bunyan Banks was my father. I have a charcoal sketch done by a man named Sargent who was with the USO Camp Shows. The sketch is signed Sargent, USO Camp Shows, September 23, 1953, Sachon Korea. I have been searching for information on this artist. Does anyone else have one of his sketches or know where I could find info on him? If anyone was there with my father in 1953, and knew him, I am sorry to say he passed away in 1990. I have many of his pictures of his unit made in Korea. Will be happy to send copy to anyone who served with him. Thank you, Judy

Comments: PLEASE LOOK INTO THE POSSIBLITY OF OUR VETERAN'S KOREAN WAR SKETCHES. THEY WILL SHOW THE "FACES OF THE FLEET" PUBLISHED BY THE STARS AND STRIPES MAGAZINE. I BELIEVE WE WOULD ALL ENJOY SEEING THE SKETCHES OF THESE FINE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN WHO WERE SKETCHED BY COMBAT ARTISTS, MOST OF WHOM WERE IN HARMS WAY AT THE TIME OF THE SKETCHING. MANY THANKS TO YOU. LEE ADAMS
Keywords: STARS AND STRIPES COMBAT ARTISTS PLAYED A COMPELLING ROLE DURING THE KOREAN WAR. FOR EXAMPLE, A YOUNG ARTIST CAME ABOARD MY SHIP (MISPILLION) AROUND DECEMBER, 1951. HIS NAME WAS RUSSELL W. CONNOR, PN3. HE SKETCHED ME WHILE I WAS COPYING RADIO CODED MESSAGES IN THE RADIO SHACK, DURING BATTLE STATIONS! HE SKETCHED MANY FACES, MOSTLY OF NAVY MEN, WHICH WERE PUBLISHED IN THE STARS AND STRIPES. HE WAS ALSO ASSIGNED TO DO OIL PAINTINGS OF THE PRINCIPAL MEMBERS OF THE TRUCE TALK DELEGATIONS. I AM SURE LOTS OF OUR NAVY VETERANS HAVE SKETCHES THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH US. I HOPE IT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED ON THIS WONDERFUL PROGRAM. LEE H. ADAMS RM3, US NAVY, USS MISPILLION AO105, 1949-1954

Hi, just dropping a note to say how much I enjoy your site. I'm looking
forward to watching it progress.
I've been reading the requests for ship information and if these people
knew that they could go to one of the better libraries in their area and
look up the Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships, Volumes 1-8
(U.S.Government Printing Office) they could find the information they
wanted to on American Ships. There's also a DANFS on line:
(click) DANFS.
They can obtain photos of the ships they want by contacting the National
Archives (NNSP) or the Naval Historical Center. That's how I get my
information and photos (Actually I bought the 8 volume set a few years
ago, big bucks but well worth it) .
Lastly, one person made a comment about the USS Helena CA 75. The USS
Helena was the first Naval ship ever to receive the Korean Presidential
Unit Citation for her first tour of duty off Korea.

Print, I checked) that can be found at the larger libraries.
