I am the Grand Daughter Of one of
the survivors of the SS Tuscania George Perkins with the 6th Battalion
Forestry Unit. I have a great deal of info and photo's that has been
handed down to me from my Father Hamlin. P. Perkins the son of George
Perkins the memories can continue to be passed down. What a great
adventure and loss these men went through. It truly is a sit back and
take a look at what our service men go through so we can have our
freedom. God Bless them all.
