Re: shake down cruise

Hello;

My Father was a part of the Marine contingent on the Quincey when it went too Spain. His name was Cecil Leroy Wood. Not sure of rank, cpl or may have made sgt by then. He was in the Corp for almost 29 years. Being a Fleet Marine he served on a number of ships, including the USS Salt Lake City. He was in China for about 2 years before the outbreak of WW2. He was captured in the Phillipines and spent 44 months as a Japanese POW
