Lloyd P. Dillon
US Navy USS Boise
My father, Lloyd P. Dillon served aboard
the USS Boise, CL-47. I believe he was transferred while she was being
repaired in late 1942 or early 1943. I know that he saw action in the
Pacific and that he lost friends and
shipmates in October 1942. He never talked that much about what had happened
aboard the Boise, but I knew that he was proud to have served.
