Robert J. Andler Sea.1c 6th Division USN USS West Virginia 1944-1946 |
I was born April 30,
1926 in Chicago, Illinois. February 1944 I was a senior at Lane
Technical School in Chicago. I left school; had my mother sign my
enlistment papers and rode a train to Farragut, Idaho to begin basic
training. A few days after basic was over, I was on the muster list to
serve on the USS West Virginia. I worked in the post office and was in
the 6th Gunnery Division on the 5 inch guns. Robert J. Andler |
