Summary

[edit]
Description Lot-824-3: WWII-Atlantic Convoys. U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Sinks Sub. As the convoy sails in the background, Coast Guardsman Radioman Third Class Julius T. Petrella is buried in the North Atlantic after being killed in action. His ship, the Coast Guard combat cutter Spencer (WPG-36), contacted a U-Boat, forced it to the surface with depth charges, and shelled it with her deck guns. Commander Harold S. Berdine, commanding officer, reads the ceremony, as Captain Paul R. Heineman, right center foreground, Commodore of the convoy, and all the crew stand at attention.
