The DE's Doctor Serves the Convoy. Responding to a call for medical assistance, Coast Guardsmen on a destroyer escort fire a line by Lysle gun across the deck of a merchant vessel somewhere in the Mediterranean. Soon a breeches buoy or litter is rigged to transfer the patient or doctor from ship to ship. In foreground, front to rear; Coast Guardsman Gustav Peterson, chief boatswain's mate, of Chicago, IL; George S. Drew, chief gunners mate, of Seattle, WA; and Dominic Garofalo, gunner's mate first class, of Boston, MA.
