Thank you for this great photo their is no doubt as to the ship number. My friend a crew member of LST 225 Mr. Andrew Jackson Hoaglund will surely enjoy it. Sincerely Casper D. Hileman

My late Uncle Thomas Francis Powell, Navy Corpsman, Pharmacist Mate, 2nd Class may have been on this ship. He was wounded in Peleliu and received a Purple Heart.
I am trying to find out more about which ship he was definitely on - he would never, ever speak of his time in this battle.
If anyone can direct me to where I might research this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
