(Posted on September 30, 2005)

Al Innes Writes...

Hi Chuck,

These are the pictures I told you about of my buddies on the Tortuga from 6/45 to 7/46. The one of the three of us are from left to right--"blank flange" Mason from Gulfport, Miss.-- Al Innes, and C.R Smith from Chicago. Don't know Mason's first name only nickname. This was taken in Honolulu, Hawaii in August 1945. The one of the two of us is--- Russell Pruitt, home unknown, and me, Al Innes taken in Tsingtao, China 4/1946. The ones on the donkey is of C.R. Smith and me, right to left. We are the ones on top, ha, also in Tsingtao 4/1946. The one of me was taken in Tsingtao China, 4/1946

If you get time to put them in the website I would appreciate it. Maybe Mason, Pruitt and C.R. Smith will see them.

Thank you.

Al Innes
