Extracted
& Compiled from the appendix (pgs.139-153) of:
"I was Chaplain on the Franklin"
by Father Joseph T. O'Callahan, S.J.
Published 1956 The Macmillan Company, New York
Every effort has been made to duplicate the
spelling found in the appendix, however, errors
may appear either as typos or because they were
misspelled to begin with. On the majority of
occasions that no middle name existed, an (n)
appeared in the text but there are several cases
where no middle initial/name nor (n) were given.
In exactly one instance there was no Class/Rank
given for an individual. It is assumed that (post)
means the award was given to the person
posthumously (after death). Page number is that
which the listing appears in the index of the
aforementioned book. Names are categorized in the
book according to award received but otherwise are
not listed in any apparent order (neither
alphabetically nor by class/rank, etc.).
