PO. George Reid Lane

United States Navy USS Boise

from:Johnston Street, Edenton, NC

My uncle, George Reid Lane, was on the USS Boise.(CL-47) at the Battle of Cape Esperance. He was into one of the turrets. A total of 107 crew was killed and his family received word that he was missing in action, then received a gram that he was dead. Several months later he walked into the family home alive. However, he had been unconscious for a long period of time could have been the mix up. He returned home with a steel plate into his head and scars on his back.

He has passed away now. I would love to have information to share with my sons about their great uncle. If any one can give roster list to show their names etc. or has an medical information, somewhere to make a connection it would be a wonderful to have.
