Charles Bernard Wood
United States Navy USS Serpens
(d.29th Jan 1945)
My uncle, Charles Bernard Wood, was killed when the USS Serpens blew up off Lunga Beach. He had leave coming, but gave it to one of his buddies on the ship so that he could go home to be with his family. His buddy, of course, survived and my uncle lost his life helping a friend.
