Looking for help on my Dad ands his ship names..... Vic Franklin

Please contact me if you knew Vic or Victor Franklin. 2nd Batallion, 15th FA Regiment, 6th Marine Division. He served on various islands during WW II. He was a Radio Field Operator. I am looking for anyone that knows the names of the ships he was on to get to these islands and any other ships he was on. Please email me if you knew him, (even if you don't know the ship names), or if you know the ship names he would have been on. Thank you all for serving. God bless you every day. vic franklin Jr. SCHWINN@MYSELF.COM

Re: Looking for help on my Dad ands his ship names..... Vic Franklin

Hey Vic,

My father was in 3/15th. It's possible the whole 15th Rgt were on the same LST.

To quote Sgt Bill Sams "The LST we boarded at Guadalcanal was LST # 576 March 11, 1945"

Hope that helps. Do share whatever you find and feel free to PM me.
