|
Rank: Apprentice
Seaman
Unit: USS Ingraham
Additional
Info: J.V. Russell entered the U.S. Navy on
June 11, 1942. He was an apprentice seaman on
board of the USS Ingraham. This ship collided
with the USS Chemung causing the USS Ingraham
to instantly explode. The date was August 22,
1942. The year and a day rule says since his
body was not found, that his death date was
August 23, 1943. The USS Ingraham was sunk in
the North Atlantic. I have the complete history
of this incident if anyone needs it.Also the
Memorial at the Campbell County Courthouse shows
him listed as "J.P." It should read "J.V."
