    I think the 6XXXXXX serial number series means he was in service before 1941.

    Sean,

    I done a quick google last night and it turns out he was an Electrician's Mate, 3rd Class and was KIA when his ship, the USS Miantonomah, CM-10, was sunk by a mine while leaving harbour on the 25th September.

    I found this on the http://navy.togetherweserved.com site just now:

    The coordinates appear to be located in the mouth of the River Seine.

    Regards,

    Pat
