My grandfather is in the front row of this picture. He did not say much about what they saw or what they did, so I am looking for any kind of information that will help open up the story. We do have this photo at our house, along with the log book.

My father was a gunners mate on the USA T Torrens.  His picture is 2nd row from the top...5th sailor from the right.  His name is Fred Bradley (former major league pitcher for the Chicago White Sox after WWII)  He is still with us at 90 years old.
