Thanks for the reply, Amy. Going back to this post made me realize that I had not updated the link for the Cumberland Sound site. Since the post was first written, I have gotten the cumberlandsound.org domain name. I just added some new photos yesterday that were sent to me from the son of the ship’s gunnery officer. I hope to send out a mailing to the men listed on a veteran’s association roster that my dad had. It would be great to find that some of them are still alive.

I have been researching my heritage. Unfortunately I never had the privilege of knowing my grandfather, William T. Williams, who served on the USS Cumberland Sound while serving in WWII but with sites life this it paints a picture of a period in my grandfather’s life that he was so very proud of…thank you!

That’s great!! I love hearing from those that my father served with. I hope you will be able to show him the photos at http://adjutant.com/cumberlandsound/ so that he may enjoy them. Please keep in touch!

My Father, Richard Dunnette Link, was a Naval Aviator pilot during WWII. He and his crew served in the South Pacific and flew a PBM. They were based on the Cumberland Sound. My Father will be 91 years old on September 3rd. He lives with me, his daughter, plus 4 dogs. Thank you!
