My father's first cousin Andrew Gall Junior was killed on board the Louisville on 6 Jan 1945 most likely at the time of this photograph.

my 92-yr-old father was on this ship at the very time of this battle. I have heard the story but to actually see a picture is a completely different experience. God bless those lost as well as those who survived.
