William Earl Elliott
US Navy USS Boise
(d.12th Oct 1942)
I am trying to find any information on my Uncle, William Earl Elliott. He was a loader in No.1 Turrent on the USS Boise in the Battle at Cape Esperence, when he was killed 12th October 1942. My mother and my Uncle were very close and she still talks about him. I would like to find out what I can before she joins him. She is currently 87, but she is still going strong. If you have anything that would help, I would appreciate it, especially anything like a Ships Roster that would have his Service Number.
