Robert W. Arnts

My dad, Robert W. Arnts, served on Attu with the U. S. Navy beginning in the fall of 1943 for about 18 months. He often talked about one buddy, Wesley Frick, who called my mother shortly after my dad died on June 19, 1997 at the age of 76. I have a photo album with many great photos of dad's days on Attu. Most of these photos are not captioned. I will share them here with you, hoping that you can identify some of the people in the pictures, or the places at which they were taken. If you can identify anyone in these pictures, or the dates and places they were taken, please get it touch.
