Shipfitter 1st Cl John Patrick Garrah
US Navy USS President Lincoln USS New Mexico
from:Albany New York
My father, John Garrah, served in the US Navy and was assigned to the USS President Lincoln from the Spring of 1917 to 31st of May 1918 when it was torpedoed by the German U-90.
After this he was assigned to a freighter, the USS Herman Frasch which sank after being rammed during a fog off the Canadian coast while sailing to France in a convoy. Later again, he was transferred to the Battleship USS New Mexico, from which he was discharged in 1919 with a rank of Shipfitter 1st Class. Dad died in November 1971.
