(d.11th-12th Oct 1942)
My uncle, Minor Butler Poole, served on the USS Boise and was one of the 107 men killed in the Battle of Cape Esperance on 11-12th of October 1942. He was in charge of the forward magazine flooding control station. He received the Navy Cross, and had the USS Poole (DE-151, sponsored by my grandmother), named for him.
