RE: George Donahe, GM3
On this day in 1943,December 26, 1943, the Brownson was hit by a kamakazie. My Uncle George Donahue was killed that day.
He was a Gunner’s Mate 3RD and his duty station was just behind the rear stack. There is a Movietone Newsreel that shows the incident, the Kamakazie hit just behind the rear stack. I can only assume he died instantly, I sure hope so.
George your family still remembers after 67 years, God Bless you and all your shipmates.
